High Times - What do George Bush, Dave Chappelle and Snoop Dogg have in common?

Liberal bias in the media, huh? This story reveals the American media's downplaying of GeeDub's history with marijuana, even while the rest of the world ran with it.


[M]ost of the traditional leaders of American journalism -- the New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and the TV networks -- made no mention of drugs in their headlines, although all reported the substance of what Bush said on the tapes.
...
Admission of drug use by a national leader has made front-page news before. When Bill Clinton admitted in the 1992 presidential campaign to smoking marijuana both the Times ("Clinton Admits Experiment With Marijuana in 1960's") and The Post ("Clinton Admits '60s Marijuana Use") ran the story on page one.


Interesting.
