The media is called on its bias by a source one might never suspect:

While the war between Israel and Hezbollah raged in Lebanon and Israel last summer, it became clear that media coverage had itself started to play an important role in determining the ultimate outcome of that war. It seemed clear that news coverage would affect the course of the conflict. And it quickly transpired that Hezbollah would become the beneficiary of the media’s manipulation.

   Sue, the media are no better than politicians. They’ll do anything for a story, like politicians for a vote. If there is no news they’ll create it. If you ask me. They are no more than leeches looking for blood

   Good catch, Sue! Not only do the media manipulate coverage of Israel, but they are manipulating the goings-on in Washington by publicizing the Left’s agenda about Bush being in a bunker etc.

   They are manipulating the Democrat primaries by giving idol status to Barack Obama.

   Make no mistake, what the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times want they get even if they have to fabricate it or publish national secrets vital to our safety to do so.

   Charles Johnson is right though. Harvard is a left leaning institution and for them to put out this report is a true rebuke of the media.

   You have to wonder if Israel was not such an ally of the US if they would not be more world respected.
