Recently I’ve noticed the following composition on a number of news program discussion round tables (not just on Fox News):
- Host
- A couple of mainstream national print writers
- A right-wing partisan blow hard
What’s wrong with this picture?
Even if you buy the argument that the journalists are foot soldiers for the “liberal media,” at least they attempt to offer objective analysis in the discussion. And this is supposed to be the counterbalance to the unapologetic right-wing spin offered by the fourth guest?
America’s media: fair and balanced.
Whoa… examples?
MSNBC/Hardball’s debate analysis.
CNN’s “Reliable Sources” yesterday.
Keep watching, you’ll see more.
