Media Critics Don’t Like War Coverage

April 28th, 2004 · No Comments

Edward Levenson of the Bucks County Courier Times writes about an event that took place in New Hope, Pennsylvania where media critics like Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! were present to talk about the coverage of the war by the news media.

It reads like a true love fest [/sarcasm], but there were some salient points I could agree with. One came from Jeff Cohen of the Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting group who said that “the television networks tried to outdo each other in flag-waving before the war in Iraq, instead of examining the rationale for the war.” I can’t say I disagree with that on the whole.
