Tony Snow's Decision Making Process
Rich Galen offers an insightful, behind the scenes look at what new White House Press Secretary Tony Snow was thinking and doing over the last few weeks.
An interesting take. I agree with him that the decision had to be a tough one for Snow.
Monetarily, professionally, personally...he had nothing to gain by accepting the offer.
That makes Snow's decision all the more interesting.

"Whitehouse, Foxnews Announce Formal Merger. Announcement Ends Years of Informal Collaboration."
followed by "DNC, NYTimes, WashPost, See BS, NBC, ABC, NPR, Time, Newsweek, CNN announce formal merger, ends decades of known but informal collaboration" .... give me a (deleted) break!
The left is going to want to have it both ways, Fred. On one hand, they are going to scream..."See, Fox News-GOP, Fox News-GOP.
On the other hand they will point out the instances when Tony Snow wrote or said something critical of the President, and scream..."See, everyone knows W is wrong!"
Love the idea that every media outlet except Fox is in bed with the Dems and Fox is just Fair and Balanced."
The fact is that the right has done a brilliant job spreading the idea that nny outlet not rabidly pro-Republican is, by definition, allied with the Dems or the so-callled "left."
Not that anyone cares, there are plenty of analyses about how various outlets treat major subjects. They show over and over again that Fox is out on the fringe, not the others.
But the business model has worked well for Fox and that's what it comes down to.
