According to Newsweek magazine, George W. Bush is "dim and perverse."
You won't find that line in Newsweek's domestic edition. It's in an article written by Carlos Fuentes for Newsweek International. Fuentes wrote, "[American leaders] have been intelligent and good (Truman, Carter), good and dim (Ford, Eisenhower), intelligent and perverse (Johnson, Nixon), brilliant and sacrificed (Kennedy), dim but obsessive (Reagan). Now the United States has a president who is at once dim and perverse: George W. Bush."
Fuentes goes on to say that Bush "has resuscitated the Cold War," "torpedoed reconciliation" between North and South Korea, escalated the arms race with China, and denounced the Kyoto Treaty. He doesn't believe Bush will be elected to a second term because voters won't have forgotten that he was "chosen by five judges of the Supreme Court."
The story isn't labeled as opinion, either. What a paragon of objectivity,
that Carlos Fuentes!
The media's campaign against George W. Bush doesn't stop at our borders, my
friends. They're trying to convince readers abroad that the United States
has just elected the Antichrist to the highest office in the land.
