Bush: U.S. does eavesdrop on phone calls of ordinary Americans
Tuesday, May 16, 2006; Posted: 12:27 p.m. EDT (16:27 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush insisted Tuesday that the United States does not listen in on domestic telephone conversations among ordinary Americans.

The president did not respond directly, however, when asked whether it was a violation of privacy for the National Security Agency to seek phone records of millions of people from telephone companies.
But the media isn't biased - or so they say. They just leave out critical words and distort what people say.

UPDATE:
Fancy that - CNN has changed the headline so that it reads correctly. The change occurred 12:41 p.m. EDT (16:41 GMT). As you'll note above, the article was originally posted at 12:27 p.m. EDT.
