Bush BBC interview: A Lesson in Transparencerity

US President George W Bush has given his first interview to the BBC in almost seven years. The transcript of his conversation with BBC World News America with presenter Matt Frei has been published in the BBC News website.

However, spymaster Luka the Ferret has heroically infiltrated the BBC and informs us that in reality the interview was heavily edited! Astutely disguising as a human, and on top of that astutely disguising as a reporter, our intrepid ferret has been able to provide us with a COMPLETE and UNAUTHORIZED transcript of the conversation in which we realize how full of transparencerity Mr Bush really is! If only the media would let the man speak his heart and mind more often...

Matt Frei: Mr President, thanks for joining us. You're famous for saying that you don't believe in opinion polls. You are also famous for being the most hated man on the planet - but maybe I shouldn't mention this so the audience will forget for a while.

President George W Bush: Yeah!... [pause] I like to open up with assertive responses in presidential style, you know.

US: NBC reprimands employee for using picture of bin Laden behind Obama story

NBC News said Tuesday it has reprimanded the employee responsible for mistakenly flashing a picture of Osama bin Laden on MSNBC as Chris Matthews talked about Barack Obama.

"This mistake was inexcusable," MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines said.
