March 24, 2006 Counterspin – March 24, 2006
George Bush received high marks from many media
commentators for his March 21st news conference performance. But journalists
largely failed to scrutinize the accuracy of several of his statements.
Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies will join us to have a look at the substance of the president’s remarks.
Also on the show: The story about media all being dyed-in-the-wool liberals
is full of holes, of course; but big outlets like the New York Times have
traditionally taken the ‘liberal’ line, which is also the majority popular
line, in favor of the right to abortion. Editorially, they still do. So what explains the paper’s op-ed page? We’ll hear that surprising story from
Garance Franke-Ruta, senior editor at The American Prospect.

The McClatchy newspaper chain is buying the larger Knight Ridder chain. What does this latest episode of corporate media concentration mean for journalism? We’ll hear from Ben Bagdikian, author of the landmark book, The Media Monopoly, and former UC Berkeley Journalism
School dean.
It’s well-established that Ahmad Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress fed all kinds of bogus stories to the US media to help make the case for the Iraq War. With the invasion’s three-year anniversary looming, the new issue of Mother Jones exposes yet another INC tall tale. We’ll talk to reporter Jack Fairweather about what he uncovered.
