I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 today, and the one question I asked myself more than any other was, "Where was the media during all of this?" How could they be so blind as to ignore so many earth-shattering stories? I thought Bob Woodward (who was a key figure in exposing the Watergate scandal) lived for this stuff.
In the era of the so-called "Information Age" it's a ******** that the government's actions have gone largely unchallenged by the media. Thirty years ago Nixon couldn't even break into a hotel room without everybody finding out about it.
P.S. Yes, I'm aware this could have been an added comment to the Michael Moore thread, but my topic goes beyond MM and his film. I'm curious to know what the hell is really going on in the media. Are they reall so "liberal?" Maybe Moore's already answered that question with one fact he presented in F911, that the Saudis own a good portion of Time-Warner.
