Network execs killed critical White House stories

A few months from now there will probably be a news report stating that Yellin committed suicide in some odd inexplicable circumstance in a backyard shed at her mother's house. Mmm. Yeah. Right.

Yes, indeed I do.

Privately funded news is biased? What a fucking surprise! At least we have the BBC over here it's not perfect but my god it puts American cable news to shame.


Our publicly funded news (PBS) puts the rest of it to shame, too. Problem is, they pretty much only put out 1 hour of news a day, whilst the corporate media sports 3 24x7 networks, plus morning, noon, evening, and 11 o'clock news programs on the 4 main networks.

Add in that one network is entirely dedicated to the advocacy of a single political party, and it starts getting really out of kilter.

^ HuffPo's analysis of the "qualification" is pretty spot on.

"[Y]ou can almost see the gun being pointed at her head by CNN management as you read her words."

She told the truth the first time, and it's no surprise to people who've been paying attention.

^ Normally I don't, but I think she accidentally told the truth here.

Most of the time, the media's self-evaluations are "we did a good job", "we're not responsible" or, "it's not our place to debate the validity of what's said."

But those are the prepared self-evaluations, this one's definitely not, because she says her stories were intentionally censored.

The media never admits that. At least...not intentionally.
