The Washington Post has just appointed a new Executive Editor, Marcus Brauchli pronounced (Brow-klee). It would seem that what we have known for so long is that Murdoch, a businessman not a journalist, ran the show at the Wall Street Journal. No small wonder journalism reached so low a level of objectivity.
Having lived through the past few years in which the "news" is no longer the truth but what those in charge of government or ownership of the media want us to hear.
Only the ability of people to read for themselves, blogs, email, chats, all sorts of other communications will make it impossible for the biased, media control to remain so powerful in the hands of so few. Apparently the wake-up call by slipped circulation is touching some of the worst offenders as the only way they are capable of feeling, in the pocketbook.
Glen Greenwald, 4/20/08 wrote that the US media deceitfully disseminates US propaganda. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro pressed major news networks to disclose ethics standards for military analysts. We have fallen into being a country where our leaders have no moral compass and use deceit and fear to confuse the overly-trusting masses.
