FAIR TV: NYT Venezuela Correction, Rich Lowry’s War Lies, Iran’s Unreal Ship

On the show: The New York Times runs an op-ed from a leader of the Venezuelan opposition–but it’s the correction that is most revealing.

And right-wing pundit Rich Lowry can’t stand Vladmir Putin’s invasion based on “lies.” But he had a different view of that when he was the one lying about Iraq.

Plus the New York Times and USA Today run with alarmist stories about a fake Iranian ship.

What’s FAIR

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
