Fed-up with the interminable whining from the tightie righties about how the US news media is "left-leaning".
Here's some candor for you...
The article is in reference to an apology from the Washington Post about it's
right-leaning news and editiorial coverage of the Iraq Attack. Highlights:
"NEW YORK -- The Washington Post yesterday joined the conga line of respected U.S. news organizations apologizing for flawed reporting in the runup to war in Iraq last year, publishing a front-page story by media reporter Howard Kurtz that called the paper's coverage "strikingly one-sided at times."
...Executive editor Bill Keller's note ran on an inside page. "Editors at several levels who should have been challenging reporters and pressing for more skepticism were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper," he wrote.
...In his 3,000-word article, Mr. Kurtz said Post editors tended to relegate pieces that criticized the Bush administration's war plans and the rationale for invading Iraq to the back pages of the paper."
I urge all Americans to have access to and use at least one foreign news source as part of their daily information gathering. Otherwise, what you don't know might kill you or someone else...
Personally, I use the Canadian paper the Globe & Mail (electronically). They are a conservative - business oriented broadsheet and I highly recommend it. Everyone, including the members of the US news media have their own agendas; and there's nothing wrong with that - people are people. An external, likely more objective view of US affairs can often be very edifying.
