The Fourth Estate

by Susan Estrich

Matt Drudge is obviously not happy: "ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE," his headline screams, in even bigger type than that.

I don't blame ABC for one minute for agreeing to be taken over, at least logistically. You tell me which network would turn down an opportunity to anchor its news and prime-time special from the East Room of the home of the most popular guy in the world.

Lesley Stahl tells a great story of doing a c ...

I am soooo tired of the right-wing racist radio jocks complaining about the bias of the liberal media. These crybabies have 10 or eleven straight hours of uninterrupted time on their right-wing owned radio stations to broadcast very deceptive and distorted propaganda. A recent example was Rush Limbaugh, subsequent to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum, alleging that "... ADOLF HITLER wa a left-winger." RUSH was attempting to blame the left wing for the three recent shootings. His comment was offensive to me as my family fled Germany in the thirties and left behind property and valuables that Hitler's thugs stole. We have to point out when these propagandists distort the truth in order to push their agenda. They constantly rail about the media because they know that a watchful media will expose their lies and half=truths. Each and every time that they complain about biased media, what they are really saying is, "GEE I WONDER IF ANYONE IS GOING TO POINT OUT MY DISTORTIONS OF TRUTH TODAY? They talk about their fear of the return of the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE because they know that radio stations could not continue to broadcast their propaganda without allowing the other side to respond. Rush has recently complained that MSNBC has been pointing out his daily distortions and has asked them to cease referring to him...I say to MSNBC, they should have a daily feature on what Limbaugh distorted that day. Only by pointing out the lies do we stay free.
