Bush Holds Teleconference for Iraq Troops

President Bush held a video conference with troops in Iraq today, and the MSM spin, closely matched by lefty blogs, is that it was a staged event: Bush holds video rally for troops in Iraq.

It’s another non-issue, of course; if any “staging” took place, it happened right in front of the reporters who were covering the event. No one hid anything. The main beef seems to be that the producers of the event took questions and comments only from soldiers who supported the Iraq effort. So what? It’s not as if people who want a dose of defeatism have nowhere to turn—they can always read the New York Times or Atrios.
