The "Media" not only matters - it IS EVERYTHING! And we know it is certainly NOT "liberal". ("The Right Wing Noise Machine" is a must read.)
On the curious CBS change from Schieffer to Couric on the evening news -
Just as I was beginning to be impressed by Schieffer's recently acquired fire and and anger at the Bushies, along comes this startling change to Katie. On her second day (the first was innocuous) she interviews Bush in a manner that would have made Tony Snow look like a bully.
Subsequently, in swithching between CBS and NBC, I'm sure CBS has had a lot less on bad news for Bush (Iraq, et al). And on her Michael Fox interview, she was sympathetic to Fox, but did not criticize Limbaugh's inexcuseable crap.
My point? Was Schieffer "fired" for starting to act like Edward R Murrow or Walter Cronkite and "tell it like it is"? And do other liberal viewers see Couric as either; a gutless little Corporate-controlled "pussy" reporter, or a right-winger herself?
I hear that ABC appears to have turned Right also. But I live in the sticks w/o cable and don't see ABC.
I hope this subject has not been posted before, but I haven't seen one, and wanted to get this vital Media Control subject on the street.
