Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

New White House Spokesperson Criticized Bush

HeadlineApr 26, 2006

In news from Washington, Republican officials have confirmed Fox News anchor Tony Snow has agreed to become the new White House Press Secretary. Snow will replace Scott McLellan, who resigned last week. President Bush is expected to make the announcement today. Although Snow will be tasked with defending the President, one of his first duties may be to answer for previous criticisms he’s made of his new boss. In an op-ed piece published in November, Snow said President Bush had “lost” his swagger and was “cowering under the bed” in the face of Democratic opposition. Snow went on to say: “The newly passive George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.”
