Mystakaphoros discovered 4 weeks ago- From the page: "The Times quoted Robert Bevelacqua, a retired Green Beret and former Fox News analyst, as saying, "It was them (the Bush administration) saying, 'We need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.'" "

- Seems obvious. You can't have an effective mass media system that has to cater to capitalistic principles like making money and at the same time has the responsibility of informing a democratic citizenry of news and views that it might not want to hear about.
Those two things are in direct conflict. If you want to make money, you have to have as many people watch as possible.
If you want to deliver good journalism that tells the honest transparent truth, you're going to loose viewers who don't want to hear about bad news or issues that aren't dumbed down.
Why do you think ABC spent the first HOUR of the Philadelphia democrat debate asking about pointless distraction issues, before dealing with something real like the economy?
We need an early BBC model of news that does not depend out outside sources like advertising for operation cost. - Seems obvious.

- This comes to me as no surprise, the current administration will stop at nothing to achieve it's goals.

- From the page: "Many U.S. military analysts used as commentators on Iraq by television networks have been groomed by the Pentagon, leaving some feeling they were manipulated to report favorably on the Bush administration, The New York Times said in Sunday editions. "

- From the page: "Many U.S. military analysts used as commentators on Iraq by television networks have been groomed by the Pentagon, leaving some feeling they were manipulated to report favorably on the Bush administration, The New York Times said in Sunday editions." -- How does this explain five years of negative reporting coming out of Iraq? Answer: it doesn't, and reinforces the fact that the left lives in some sort of alternate reality Bizarro-universe.
