Towel Snapping the Press : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers : 9780742538511 : 0742538516 : 25 May 2006 : Towel Snapping the Press follows the president's lifelong association with the media, showing how he developed and, over the years, modified his tactics. During Bush's early years in the public eye, the press did not scrutinize him; as president he became a subject of intense analysis. Still, many reporters find the president's disposition charming, even while they are frustrated by his message discipline and rigid control of press access to administration sources. This book presents interesting stories about the president from reporters' points of view and raises important issues that civically engaged citizens will want to explore.
