Just finished reading the discussion, and in regards to the media:
In some ways I think this discussion misses the forest for the trees.
What's been discussed is whether or not the reporter, or media outlet has an agenda.
What I say (well more what I've read and believe about media theory) is that the whole structure of American (and other corporate media) causes biased reporting.
Basically if the media is corporate it boils down to this:
the MEDIA (in corporate form)
is selling VIEWERS
to ADVERTISERSthe whole premise of this system influences that for media to survive and compete with other media, they have to show what SELLS. Not what's news worthy.
And really a Hurricane distaster, a car chase, Cops with guns are going to sell more than a balanced political debate about a war.
