"We're here to see Clinton emerge as the party's nominee... We now have well over the required 300 delegate signatures." Each delegate who signed the petition will wear a green lapel pin featuring the number 300 skewered by a ball-point pen."

Independent photojournalists, NGO workers and citizens are part of this important movement to take back the news from those who focus on profits.

The economic crisis is not just a product of high oil prices but that's what we're served up. Meanwhile, the middle class, lower class, and the poor pay the consequences.

What is particularly noteworthy is where the media bias lies: it's a clear willingness to give John McCain (R) the benefit of the doubt, but not Barack Obama (D).

What astounds me about the "race card" -- which either did or didn't get played in the presidential race recently -- is its thinness.
Levan Moulton | Posted 08.06.2008 | Home
Polls are flawed but also deeply politicized by the media people reporting the data they serve up. The intention is not to inform but to report a neck-and-neck race.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 08.05.2008 | Politics
It's McCain's campaign, not Steve Schmidt's or Mark Salter's or anyone else's. We might joke otherwise, but John McCain does take credit for his bizarre ads.

In less time than it takes to say "Dick Cheney," the secret Iraq letter -- what would be one of the most outrageous violations of the Constitution in the history of the Republic -- is made into a left/right issue.

The main problem with climate change coverage, as far as I can tell, has much more to do with the sheer quality of it, rather than the quantity.

The Wall Street Journal's notion that Americans are fat slobs who will reject a candidate who eats right and is fit is an elitist view in itself, and flat-out insulting to American voters.

When asked whom he'll vote for, Chris Hedges says, "I'm going to vote for Nader. Part of it is a moral issue. I can't vote for anybody who doesn't call for an immediate end to the war in Iraq."
Ben Cohen | Posted 07.30.2008 | Media
The mainstream media is doing exactly what it did before the build up to the Iraq War -- sucking up to McCain's perceived power and not asking relevant questions because it's fearful of being labeled unpatriotic.

This constant cry that Obama is presumptuous, arrogant, elitist -- they're all ways to say he's not acting the way well-behaved minorities are supposed to act. He is acting independently and that's unacceptable.
John McQuaid | Posted 07.24.2008 | Media
It sure looks like Edwards is a hypocrite who misrepresented himself by showcasing his wife and kids so prominently in the campaign.
Ray Hanania | Posted 07.15.2008 | Media
The media never looked at the cover as racist on its face, exploiting a stereotype that is only denounced when it is wrapped around a popular presidential candidate and a minority.

The questions about the Obama-Clinton relationship will undoubtedly remain. However, the voices for "party unity" and "taking back the White House" are starting to sound increasingly strong.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 07.12.2008 | Media
if no one watches the inanity of the cable networks, who cares how dumb they are? The fact is that it informs and distorts how the media covers the election.
Nathan Robinson | Posted 07.04.2008 | Media
The Newseum is a mammoth structure, and it does a fairly good job of illustrating just why mainstream media is such a letdown, even if it does so unintentionally.

To be clear, this is not a partisan effort -- It's a legally binding and provable case for murder, that Bugliosi -- an American patriot -- would bring against any president regardless of affiliation.

The famous lawyer-author met with publishers face-to-face but they were afraid to touch the book. He had to get the BBC to record the audio version because no U.S. company would agree to do it.
