CNN, PBS and the Broadcast Alphabet news have a bias in their news
reporting
itself. That bias is not so much by reporting untruth but by their choice
of
what IS news.


A perfect example:

Yesterday, a new report on WMD in Iraq was released. In it, they
reported finding no WMD -- but NPR reported that they DID find evidence of
intent to build WMD when sanctions were lifted. The author of the report
stressed that Saddam had every intention of building WMD the moment
inspectors left -- which would have happened in the absence of pressure
from the U.S..

This is the actual language from the actual report (I got it from the BBC,
but the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times also had it):

"There is an extensive, yet fragmentary and circumstantial body of evidence
suggesting that Saddam pursued a strategy to maintain a capability to return
to WMD after sanctions were lifted... "

Perhaps "fragmentary," "circumstantial" and :suggesting" don't quite add up
to a done deal.

Henry
