Nine years later, NYT still waiting for an interview with Bush.»

During the presidential primary campaign in 1999-2000, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger asked then-Texas governor George Bush when he would agree to an interview with the paper. Bush demurred, citing scheduling difficulties. Nine years later, Bush has still not done a single interview with the NYT. In a recent online chat, NYT reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg noted:

The New York Times, for instance, has had a standing request to interview President Bush since well before I came on this beat in May 2006. So far, no interview — and the reason why is hardly a secret. White House officials are quite open about the fact that we have not gotten an interview because they don’t like our coverage. I get e-mails to that effect from them all the time. But the request still stands, and we are hoping for an interview before Mr. Bush leaves office.

Of course, Bush has done many interviews with Fox News. He has also called in to Rush Limbaugh’s radio show.
