TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARPolitico:
Obama’s visit drew inevitable comparisons with President George W. Bush’s tour of the rubble a few days after the Sept. 11 attacks — when he grabbed a bullhorn and promised “the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
Obama invited Bush to join him at ground zero. The former president declined because, according to a spokesman, he wanted to keep up the low profile he has maintained since leaving office.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
