<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/Kucinich_Ignored_in_the_Media</link>
<description><![CDATA[Congressman Dennis Kucinich is again seeking the Democratic nomination for the President. He


s serious, but the media, when they cover him, are not. This despite the fact that his anti-war position is far more popular in 


07 than it was in 


03.]]></description>

<title>Study Finds Lack of Balance, Diversity, Public at PBS NewsHour</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/Study_Finds_Lack_of_Balance_Diversity_Public_at_PBS_NewsHour</link>
<description><![CDATA[The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, PBS's flagship news program, touts its "signature style


low-key, evenhanded, inclusive of all perspectives"; Corporation for Public Broadcasting ombud Ken Bode called it "the mother ship of balance." But a new FAIR study finds that the NewsHour fails to provide either balance or diversity of perspectives


or a true public-minded alternative to its corporate competition.

Among partisan sources, Republicans outnumbered Democrats on the NewsHour by 2-to-1 (66 percent vs. 33 percent). Only one representative of a third party appeared during the study period.]]></description>

<title>Miami Herald Publisher Resigns</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/Miami_Herald_Publisher_Resigns</link>
<description><![CDATA[Jesus Diaz Jr., the papers' publisher since July 2005, had dismissed two El Nuevo Herald reporters and a freelance contributor who had been paid by Radio Marti and TV Marti. Diaz said the company offered to rehire the three and would not discipline six others it recently discovered also took payments.

Diaz said he believed the journalists' acceptance of payments "was a breach of widely accepted principles of journalistic ethics." But he added "our policies prohibiting such behavior may have been ambiguously communicated, inconsistently applied and widely misunderstood over many years in the El Nuevo Herald newsroom."

He said no one would be allowed in the future to accept money from the U.S. government-run broadcasters, and conflict-of-interest policies would be strengthened.]]></description>

<title>THE LOW POST: How the Media Lies About China</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/THE_LOW_POST_How_the_Media_Lies_About_China</link>
<description><![CDATA[In fact, "When it comes to China, we just need to try harder" has to be among the most pervasive and universally-held lies in the American press these days, right up there with, "In elections, any candidate, no matter how poor, has a chance" and "The networks are just giving the people the news they want."

One of the biggest purveyors of this dreck is arch-capitalist spokesmodel Thomas Friedman, who has spent the last ten years trying to talk himself into the position that having to compete with Chinese and Indian industrial slaves is somehow a good thing for America.]]></description>

<title>Spinning the Unspinnable</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/Spinning_the_Unspinnable</link>
<description><![CDATA[You've got to hand it to the Wall Street Journal editorial staff. They take their partisanship seriously. While fair weather Republicans like Michelle Malkin, Bay Buchanan, and the folks at the Washington Times are distancing themselves from the House Republican leadership in the wake of the Mark Foley scandal, the diehard partisans at the Journal continue onward, undeterred. To them, nothing is unspinnable, even a scandal in which House Republican leaders appear to have turned a blind eye to a sexual predator in their midst in order to retain control of a contested congressional seat. These guys live for the challenge of defending the indefensible.]]></description>

<title>Press downplays Iraq during campaign season. Again.</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/Press_downplays_Iraq_during_campaign_season_Again</link>
<description><![CDATA[There is, however, ample evidence that the American media, on the eve of the crucial midterm elections, have lost interest in the chaotic saga, with network news coverage in recent weeks plummeting and Page One newspaper dispatches from Iraq growing sparse. The media fade has come at a perfect time for the White House as it attempts to shift voters' attention away from Iraq and move it over to the war on terror.

What's so startling is that we've seen this exact media retreat before -- during the fall of the 2004 campaign. Back then, when sustained, aggressive coverage of the unfolding chaos inside Iraq could have done real damage to the Bush/Cheney ticket, the press shifted its attention away from Baghdad. Instead of a summer of tenacious war coverage, Bush was blessed with a cable news agenda that focused on endless hurricane updates, Martha Stewart's legal woes, and the tawdry Laci Peterson trial.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would hurt local TV news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says.

The report, written in 2004, came to light during the Senate confirmation hearing for FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As Annthrax slides ever further down the razor


s edge of ridiculousness into the rubbing-alcohol pool of obscurity, she


s coughing up whatever ideological hairballs she can to try and keep people


s attention from wandering.  The nature of her pathology has become undeniably clear.  She is the Republican Courtney Love.  Every time she opens her mouth, she sells less of her own books and more of ours.

We call it Wingnut Welfare for a reason.  Reich Wing Affirmative Action.  It


s an intricate web of familial and corporate connections dating back more than a hundred years, and without which Ann Coulter would be hard pressed to find a job that didn


t involve a meth-lab, a corner lamp-post, and a public defender.]]></description>

<title>David Sirota: Finally, The Media Elite Admit the Truth About Themselves</title>
<link>http://www.newscloud.com/read/David_Sirota_Finally_The_Media_Elite_Admit_the_Truth_About_Themselves</link>
<description><![CDATA[


Polarized primary voters shouldn


t be allowed to define the choices in American politics.


 - New York Times columnist David Brooks.

The perfume is off, the restraint is removed, and the ugly, rancid, sweaty-lockerroom stench of truth is there for all of us commoners to waft. Sniff up, contain your dry heaving, and you will finally understand that all the talk of the Establishment


s disdain for ordinary citizens is not just talk or conspiracy theory - it


s very real, and very powerful.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Globe article makes Zengerle out to be a victim, when in reality, he victimized several people, including me, by his sloppy, inaccurate writing, I can't really call it reporting.

But the underlying premise, first pushed by Chris Suellentrop with no evidence, was that Kos is taking money from pols for support. God, what a ****ing stupid transposition of reality. Kos gives money to pols. Most of the current ads on his site are for media products and unions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is hard sometimes to know what is real and what is fiction when it comes to the news out of Iraq. America is in its "silly season," the summer months leading up to a national election, and the media is going full speed ahead in exploiting its primacy in the news arena by substituting responsible reporting with headline-grabbing entertainment.]]></description>
