Towel Snapping the Press Bush's Journey From Locker-Room Antics To Message Control

Towel Snapping the Press follows the president's lifelong association with the media, showing how he has developed and, over the years, modified his tactics. During Bush's early years in the public eye, the press did not scrutinize him; but as president he became a subject of intense analysis. Still, many reporters find the president's disposition charming, even while they are frustrated by his message discipline and rigid control of press access to administration sources. This book not only presents interesting stories about the president from reporters' points of view, but also raises important issues that any civically engaged citizen will want to explore.Mueller, James E. is the author of 'Towel Snapping the Press Bush's Journey From Locker-Room Antics To Message Control', published 2006 under ISBN 9780742538511 and ISBN 0742538516.
