By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, November 3, 2003; Page C01 Swastika Story Some liberal critics are accusing the mainstream media of refusing to write about the Bush family's Nazi connection. Many media outlets, including The Washington Post, have "repeatedly declined to investigate" the matter, writes John Buchanan of the New Hampshire Gazette, the first to report on newly declassified government documents. The Associated Press picked up the story that Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather, was a director of a New York bank seized by federal authorities over ties to a German industrialist who helped finance Adolf Hitler's rise. "The documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort," the AP reports. Buchanan says he called journalists at Newsweek, Time, the Wall Street Journal and other outlets -- in one case threatening to give a columnist's name to Congress for refusing to report on the story -- but that they joined the "cover-up." Is this an interesting historical footnote that deserves wider exposure? Probably. But should the president be tarred with what the late senator, who's been dead for three decades, did or failed to do before World War II? "Imputing Nazi sympathies to the president or his family ought to be beneath his adversaries," writes Bush critic Joe Conason in the New York Observer. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
