Mainstream Mendacity
My favorite blog on the law, Trial Ad Notes, links to the story of the latest settlement between Seattle and those wrongfully arrested during the N30 protests in 1999. In the comment I submitted there, I note the mendacity of Seattle media then and now.
While much is made of the alleged bias of mainstream media on the liberal conservative continuum, this mediated discussion almost never raises the dichotomy between owner and renter bias in the news. For those of us who rent the tools of media, the distinction could not be clearer.
