As War Dragged On, Coverage Tone Weighed Heavily on Anchors (National)
This story has been talked about by many of the liberals who have been seeing their views and opinions faded out in the media ever since the Bush administration took over.

We find out from first hand experience of Katie Couric how the journalists questions must remain limited when asking this administration any questions. She interviewed Condalezza Rice and asked her a question that she obviously did not want to answer, and got a phone call from her supervisor the next day with a subtle message to knock it off, or else.

We have known about the bias of Fox news for some time, but slowly the propagande masters have been sliding into other news rooms as well.

Couric is not the first journalist to admit that her opinions about the Iraq war are not only not appreciated, but highly discouraged when they disagree with the point of view of the president. This might have something to do with the billion and a half that Bush was caught paying off reporters with in 2004, but that is only speculation.

Imagine what would have happened if her question became implications against the administration for being the cause of September 11, 2001. If you cannot even ask them if America would be at greater risk if Kerry would have won, there is no way to get away with forming a real question that matters.

This administration has taken America on a path of limited media and rights that is going to be very hard to undo. It is hard to get rights back once they are restricted, and this administration seems to want to restrict them all with them golden words "to fight terrorism".
