Ärende: "Liberal" news media?
=============================
"Liberal news media?"
Where?

Blitzer continues to peddle bogus attacks on Democrats

During an April 4 interview, CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Democratic 
National Committee chairman Howard Dean, "Why are you, the Democrats, 
having such a hard -- tough time convincing Americans that you do have a 
set of policies for the country?"

Regrettably, Dean didn't answer, "Because of you, Wolf. Because we do 
have policies, and we do everything we can to draw attention to them, 
but you ignore it. Because on March 29, Democrats unveiled our new 
national security agenda -- and you, Wolf, you and your network 
virtually ignored it. You showed two minutes of House Democratic Leader 
Harry Reid speaking at the press conference -- and nearly two hours of 
President Bush speaking. We have a hard time 'convincing Americans' that 
we have 'a set of policies' because you, Wolf, ignore those policies -- 
then assert that we don't have any."

Later, Blitzer teased a replay of the interview by declaring: "Plus, 
Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean. He's also in The Situation Room. 
With the Republicans facing so much trouble, why does it seem that 
Democrats can't get their act together? I'll ask him."

Why does it seem that Democrats can't get their act together? The same 
reason that Democrats have a "tough time convincing Americans" that they 
have a "set of policies" -- because of Wolf Blitzer and his colleagues. 
A new AP-Ipsos poll finds that:

By a 49-33 margin, the public favors Democrats over Republicans when 
asked which party should control Congress.

That 16-point Democratic advantage is the largest the party has enjoyed 
in AP-Ipsos polling.

How much more does Blitzer think Democrats can get their act together? 
If they open up a 20-point lead, will he finally conclude that they have 
their act together? How about 25 points? Thirty?

Media continue to sanitize war

Last week, we noted that amid all the recent discussion in the media of 
their coverage of the Iraq war, we didn't see any mention of the 
possibility that the media is sanitizing the war:

Neither [Washington Post media writer Howard] Kurtz nor [Wolf] Blitzer 
seemed aware of the possibility that progressives, or people opposed to 
the war, might also be angry at the media. And that's a characteristic 
of nearly all of the media's navel-gazing about their coverage of the 
Iraq war -- the question addressed is almost always whether war 
supporters' claims that the media are too negative have merit. Where is 
the CNN segment exploring whether the media are adequately covering 
Murray Waas's revelations about the Bush administration's cover-up of 
evidence that Bush lied to the nation about the Iraq war? Where is the 
CNN segment about whether the media are sanitizing the war?

[...]

Yet when the media assess their own performance in covering the Iraq 
mess, they don't talk about these things. Instead, they consistently 
focus on complaints from conservatives and war supporters -- complaints 
that their coverage is too negative, never that it's too positive.

[...]

The way [Washington Post ombudsman Deborah] Howell and Kurtz and [CNN's 
Candy] Crowley and Blitzer and the rest of the media cover the coverage 
of the Iraq war, you'd think Rotello was all alone in his belief that 
the media are sanitizing the war. But he isn't. A CBS News poll 
conducted earlier this month found that 24 percent of Americans think 
the media are "making things in Iraq sound better than they really are," 
compared to 31 percent who think the media are "making things sound 
worse than they really are."

This week, Eric Boehlert (whose Lapdogs: How The Press Rolled Over for 
Bush will be published in May) wrote on the Huffington Post:

Is it news when nearly three years after 'Mission Accomplished,' the 
charred body of a U.S. soldier gets dragged around by taunting Iraqi 
insurgents and videotaped for the world to see? According to most 
American television news outlets the answer is no.

News of the upsetting videotape surfaced Wednesday morning and by the 
afternoon Pentagon officials, emphasizing to reporters they were 
outraged about the online video, had all but confirmed the contents of 
the clip, which showed the burning wreckages of a U.S. helicopter, as 
well as pictures of a dead, charred pilot being dragged through a field.

But just because it was authentic didn't mean the videotape was 
newsworthy. In the 12 hours after the story broke, CNN, for instance, 
mentioned the downed helicopter just once, which was one time more than 
MSNBC, CBS, or ABC. Interestingly, Fox News was the most aggressive in 
reporting the story on Wednesday, giving it 16 mentions according to 
TVEyes.com, but being quick to announce the channel would never actually 
air the images. NBC Nightly News aired a detailed piece Wednesday night 
about the video, and actually broadcast blurred images of the U.S. 
corpse being abused. But NBC was also careful to couch the story as one 
about Iraqi "propaganda," not about what it meant that insurgents were 
shooting U.S. copters out of the sky seemingly at will three years after 
Iraq was supposedly liberated.

Boehlert went on to point out that, when Bill Clinton was president, 
"most major American television outlets aired a grotesque news clip of a 
bloated U.S. soldier's corpse being dragged through the dusty streets of 
Mogadishu, Somalia, after rebels there shot down American helicopters 
and killed a dozen soldiers. The incident became the basis for the book 
and movie, Black Hawk Down."

Nobody wants to see flag-draped coffins or, worse, bloody and corpses. 
We certainly don't. But the question is: Can the American people reach 
informed decisions about the war without seeing actual pictures of it? 
Do we get desensitized to the death and suffering because the media 
reduces it all to numbers? Should we see the images that none of us want 
to see?

And if the answer is "no," what has changed between 1993 and 2006? What 
has changed between Somalia and Iraq?

(Easy answer: Different president.)
