Liberal Media

Lesson Of The Day From The Joe Klein School Of Journalimism | Firedoglake

The mainstream media is not really liberal. They're just not very good at what they do.

As a kid I was taught that the media's job, the free press, was to hold government's feet-to-fire, to make sure they were acting in the people's interest or at least acting honestly. Corporate media has destroyed this. Today's media is inept or in bed with those in charge, caring only about ratings or profits.

This is one place where The Propaganda Network (Fox News) is better than the "Liberal Media". Fox at least doesn't pretend, they have an agenda and they go after it. Of course you can't really call that "News"
