And what does it say about a President if he neither reads newspapers or
listens to radio?

That he doesn't. {?}

but I've never heard of
Bush II listening.

Like I said earlier, I read (FWIW) that he was well aware of it, it's *kind
of* hard to believe that Bush has 'literally' NEVER listened nor operated a
shortwave radio in his life . But that's just me. :-)
