Blumer Falsely Suggests Bush Didn't Pre-Pick Questions
Topic: NewsBusters

In a Feb. 17 NewsBusters post, Tom Blumer purports to be offended that President Obama's "team" was preselecting who "be allowed to submit a question to His Excellency," adding: "What would the press be saying if Bush had employed these crutches?"
