Your support is crucial…Media Matters:
Last week, the media seized on a “spate of good news” supposedly providing the White House a surge of momentum. In recent days, there have been negative turns of events in many of the areas that had been the focus of the media’s enthusiasm, including the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan and the trial of a former White House official. Will the media give the same attention to this apparent string of bad news as they devoted to last week’s “good news”?
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
