Now this is encouraging. But will the mainstream press cover it?As the ceasefire in Lebanon enters its third day, the Middle East crisis continues to be one of the top news stories in the US press. But the coverage of the conflict in the corporate media has come under criticism from some quarters.
Two weeks ago, two producers working for Fox News in Amman Jordan resigned in protest of the network's coverage. In their resignation letter, Serene Sabbagh and Jomana Karadsheh wrote "We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that." They went on to write "Not only are you an instrument of the Bush White House, and Israeli propaganda, you are war mongers with no sense of decency, nor professionalism."
Click through and read the transcript of an interview with one of the people who resigned. So much for "fair and balanced".
You are hopelessly blind - The lens of your spectacles are colored in a way that makes clear vision impossible - You are hopelessly biggotted - You probably wish America would suffer for how bad we are.......
ReplyDeleteAnd you're a coward with your drive-by, anonymous comment. Why would you think I want America to suffer? I want the best for America; that's why I don't want its people held hostage to right-wing propaganda.
