And, he said, the media\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coverage of partisan politics was driving a wedge in democracy. He called for newspapers to run corrections more prominently and noted that television and Internet outlets often don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t run corrections at all.<\/p>\n<p>The Bush administration, he said, failed to plan economically and politically for Iraq, and has continued to fail in expressing its plans and strategies to the American people.
