This week we take a look at some of the media panic over North Korea, how the press is spinning the gun debate and why USA Today’s front page headline about how we’re all “feeling rich” might not apply to all of us.

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.

If the ruling class is allowed to define reality for the majority of population, its conclusions will always be suspect. Most people react on their perceptions, and these can be manipulated by the media which is again controlled by the 5% of the wealthy.
entertaining but some criteria you use to judge are inaccurate.It is a well detailed and well thought out analysis. Un may act like a child but his handelers and he have thought everything out. The main reason for this is to establish him as supreme leader and rally all around him that they forget horrible conditions and be willing to die. About our mean brutal sanctions, we cannot remove our only nonviolent response because he is a callous egomaniac, it is on him not us, and on them for being so compliant, but they are starting to question. He will act to protect his position, we wants to stay in power so this is an act.
