on media bias
Never as little as you think, never as much as you think. Rich Lowry in NRO:
The conservative campaign against the mainstream media has scored notable successes. It exposed Dan Rather’s forged National Guard memo and jumped all over Newsweek’s absurd report of a Koran-flushing incident at Guantanamo Bay. The mainstream media is biased, arrogant, prone to stultifying group-think and much more fallible than its exalted self-image allows it to admit. It also, however, can be right, and this is most confounding to conservatives.
Cold reality is here now for all those who’d care to look at it. It’s painful, but a large majority of it is also true. And I’m sure none of you reading this are getting your hopes up too high that either President Bush or the tragicomedy known as the Iraq Study Group are going to stay out in the cold long enough to take that long overdue look.
