The problems with Corporate Media
All of the 24 hour news channels have catchy names for Bush's new war. My favorite is MSNBC's "Showdown with Saddam." They keep covering the weapons and equipment that out troops will use in Bush's new war and glazing over the fact that the weapons inspectors aren't finding anything. Herr Bush says that Saddam looks evil and the media follows the party line. They tell us that this is war of good against evil and people believe it. Is it good reporting? No. The news media no longer attempts to tell the whole story. They are so used to getting the news spoon-fed to them from white house press secretaries that its much easier for them to give the white house's version of the news than actually do any research and why wouldn't they want people to believe the white house? They all have the same goals.
