FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation.
ABC botches an easy ISIS factcheck, and NBC’s Chuck Todd “disqualifies” a Senate candidate who gave an iffy response to a trivial question. Plus Malala Yousafzai wins the Nobel Peace Prize–but US media doesn’t seem interested in her peace message.
The new Nobel Peace Prize winner had some choice words for another Peace Prize winner’s wars. But most media aren’t telling us about that message of peace.
US media ignore one part of Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai’s message. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria talks about inequality and Occupy Wall Street with….three CEOs? And corporations view the news networks they own as vehicles to promote their other properties.
Corporate media were very interested in Malala Yousafzai’s message about standing up to the Taliban. But her comments about US drone strikes? Not so newsworthy.
