Fox is still airing -- without disclosure -- two of the exposed pundits, Robert H. Scales and Thomas McInerney. See them for yourself.

Wright has been reduced to an emotional image -- a boogeyman of black nationalism and aggression, used as a prop to make the professorial Obama look like a smooth talker hiding more radical inclinations.

Clinton's run for the Democratic nomination has been awash with the most dispiriting ridicule I have seen in my (albeit short) lifetime.
Paul Jenkins | Posted 04.26.2008 | Politics
Were Hillary the great rural white savior that her campaign is depicting, she would have been able to dispatch a presidential neophyte like Barack Obama.

What most forget is that Colbert pointed daggers at the press as well as the president -- and many in the media responded by panning his performance in the days that followed.

With the country sliding by virtually every measure, the Bushes are now resorting to the most cynical and patronizing misdirection play at their disposal.

And as with many other industries, take it from this veteran: sometimes if you delve too deeply into how the sausage is actually made, you run the risk of losing your appetite.

In his column today, Howard Kurtz takes me on over my post on the self-loathing liberal media -- and completely misses the point. "Is Arianna saying the media shouldn't employ conservatives at all?" he asks. Of course that's not what I'm saying, Howie. MSM outlets should absolutely include conservative voices in the mix. Just not those whose careers have been built on intentionally deceiving the American people. READ MORE The Self-Loathing Liberal Media Newsweek hires Karl Rove. The New York Times hires Bill Kristol. CNN hires Tony Snow. By embracing these unabashed propagandists, the mainstream media have revealed a self-loathing streak a mile wide. READ MORE

While most TV news organizations have refused to report or even comment on the bombshell Times article, PBS just aired an important segment on the controversy.

Okay, I get it. We let all Republicans and most Democrats off the hook because they will roll over for the companies that own the media and in McCain's case literally get blown by lobbyists, but come on! Are we not even remotely pretending anymore?

Sam Zell may get an amazing price for Newsday as Murdoch looks to add to his empire.

In the ensuing days of the revelations of pro-war propaganda on our major TV news outlets, these same outlets are either dismissing the damning revelations or pretending they never happened.

The superdelegates will go with whoever they perceive as a winner. Today it could be Clinton-- she's hung in there despite being badgered mercilessly to drop out.

From the New York Times profile on Halperin today, readers would have no idea about how Halperin leverages The Page -- and Time's credibility -- to stoke gossip, innuendo and even advise politicians on dirty tricks.

That Government-sanctioned propaganda has been allowed to continue undisclosed for years is an indictment of both this White House and a docile American media.
Jon Soltz | Posted 04.21.2008 | Politics
As far as too many networks are concerned, retired senior officials with no experience in the current conflicts are more credible than the troops who actually fought in the wars.

The Pentagon, starting in 2002, assembled a crew of retired military officers to disseminate propaganda via all-too-willing network and cable news outlets.

While Beltway pundits and others in the national press have alleged that Barack Obama is clearly and obviously out of touch with most not-so-bitter Pennsylvanians, leading newspapers in the state, who ought to know better, seem to disagree.
William Fisher | Posted 04.19.2008 | Politics
The most discredited bromide in American civic life is: "Give the American people the facts, and they will make the right decisions." But who is giving them the facts? The short answer is nobody. And the result is a tragically uninformed electorate.

Obama's bounce in the polls this week is more than a mere candidate "surge." It's a repudiation of the nattering nabob media which imagined clumsy wording could send his campaign into a glorious tailspin.
