Bush was a very bright man who would frequently make statements and believe them that had almost no credibility for most other people. This is an example. He may have been the only person in America who actually believed that any presidential staff were or could be an objective source for news as he and they were often the news subjects and to be a staff member, particularly in his administration, the people had to have an ideological conformity to some basic world and national views. Bush was also not an avid reader despite the fact that his wife was a noted librarian, so he did not, as most other presidents did, commonly read leading newspapers and news magazines.
