Wash. Post ignored critical response to Snow appointment

SUMMARY: Washington Post staff writers Jim VandeHei and Michael A. Fletcher quoted several White House aides who characterized the appointment of Tony Snow as press secretary as "proof that he [Bush] is open to dissenting opinions," recognition on the part of the president that "he needs to do a better job communicating," and an effort to "wipe the slate clean." But despite the chorus of criticism from Democrats and others in response to Bush's choice, VandeHei and Fletcher presented no contrasting opinions.
