Wash Post editor FRED HIATT LOVES George Bush's SPYING ON AMERICANS agenda...

Hat-tip to Correntewire.com for posting this story - and for noticing the import of FRED HIATT's COMPLICIT-with-SPYING direction at the whore post.

[our comments]
In typical Washington WHORE Post fashion, editor Fred Hiatt has his junior writer write up an IMPORTANT STORY as a conversational INFOTAINMENT "he said, she said" piece, in this case an AT&T communications engineer explaining that the government (NSA) co-opted AT&T to install MASSIVE SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT - equipment that could read and save EVERYTHING TRANSMITTED THROUGH _ANY_ AT&T SERVERS, including data and voice from other telecom companies routed however briefly through AT&T's equipment.

Mr. Fred Hiatt, YOU, SIR, are one of America's TOP FIVE MEDIA WHORES: you put the ILLEGAL SPYING ON AMERICANS on page D-1 as a CONVERSATION piece, but you put the Monica impeachment of President Clinton (and worse than that, entirely FABRICATED fake "scandals" like "Lincoln Bedroom" and "White House trashing") ON THE FRONT PAGE, for days and weeks at a time, in order to help the Radical Right Republicans subvert American democracy.
