Funny, though, we don't recall Fox's prime-time lineup of anchors slipping into the West Wing for a special pow-wow with President Bush. Maybe if they had, he could have made his across-the-board tax cuts permanent. Maybe if they had coordinated propaganda the way this president and MSNBC have, there would be no expiration date on tax relief for hardworking Americans.
But they didn't do that because that's not the way a free society works.
