Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Bush Introduces New White House Press Secretary Tony Snow

HeadlineApr 27, 2006

At the White House on Wednesday, President Bush introduced his new Press Secretary, former Fox News commentator Tony Snow. Bush said: “He’s not afraid to express his own opinions. For those of you who have read his columns and listened to his radio show, he sometimes has disagreed with me. I asked him about those comments, and he said, 'You should have heard what I said about the other guy.' I like his perspective, I like the perspective he brings to this job, and I think you’re going to like it, too.”
