Politicians Aren't Businessmen

The lamestream media told you:

President Bush is holding a meeting of "world economic leaders" on Nov. 15, according to press releases promoted by the Associated Press and carried by virtually all "news" outlets.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

This story is false on its face, because "world economic leaders" are people in business, and President Bush is holding a meeting of global politicians. Politicians, and government in general, are world economic meddlers and obstacles. They interfere with business, slow its progress, regulate its advances, tax its earnings and generally make it harder for business to thrive, saddling it with red tape, trade barriers, obstacles to entry, and eating out its substance.

If anything could show the statist bias of the AP, this story is tied for first place with hundreds of others they routinely issue, from government press releases they receive and circulate without meaningful review.

No real news of what really happens in the conference is expected. Actual conversations, wheeling and dealing, tacit agreements and plans for future agendas will be reduced to carefully worded press releases, which the AP is expected to circulate without meaningful review.
