A Few Words On The Infuriating Liberal Media Argument http://mys.tc/1sk journalism news minstream

‘If you tune into Fox News or Conservative talk radio, you’re not likely to have to wait a long time before they mention the Liberal Media.

Why the NYTimes is So Hawkish: The Liberal Media and American Foreign Policy http://mys.tc/1mr journalism news propaganda

‘The New York Times’ coverage during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq (i.e., weapons of mass destruction) was largely in-step with the Bush II administration. At the time, similarly woeful coverage could also be heard on National Public Radio, another news outlet safely described as liberal. In both cases, the two proportionally increased their support for the White House and State Department rhetoric concerning post-9/11 policy. Even when the United States is not about to invade and occupy a country, coverage of official Washington’s core interests is generally gracious. Discussing same-sex marriage, or in-depth features on race, poverty, or the environment are well and good – and, it should be noted, politically inexpensive – but the principal doctrines of US state power are usually treated gently, with criticism taking place within acceptable limitations: talk of tactical matters, mistakes, misjudgments, and lack of planning instead of fundamental issues like international law, human rights, misuse and mistreatment of the military, economic burden, and further inspiration of terrorist reprisal.’
