FAIR Media Views
Linking to 30 minutes of "trenchant observations" and "interesting facts" from FAIR's founder, Greenwald also updates with a takedown of a Los Angeles Times review of Scott McClellan's book, in which often worthwhile critic Tim Rutten declared that "not giving the administration the benefit of the doubt" after 9/11 would have been "mindlessly adversarial" of the press.Apparently now, in the U.S., when our government wants to start a war by attacking another country that hasn't attacked us, it's the duty of the media to presume that they're telling the truth about everything, and it would be extremely irresponsible—"mindlessly adversarial"—for them to do otherwise. I just can't even add anything to that.
