Shaken Not Stirred

Interesting interview of Bush in the London Times by Gerard Baker.

Among other salient comments he notes:

In person Mr Bush is so far removed from the caricature of the dim, war-mongering Texas cowboy of global popular repute that it shakes one’s faith in the reliability of the modern media.

And that sums up in a nutshell why American Conservatives rely far less on MSM than do the liberals. But then we've known this for quite a while.

As this was published in the London paper, Baker is aiming this salvo at a British audience. I imagine it will land with less than a ripple, though. The people at whom the comment is aimed don't want to be persuaded by it.
