Right Wing Media Bias

This is a very interesting report on the media bias in the UK media on the war in Iraq. The media, owned by concentrated power, rarely questions the framework for the war.

That is, what right do be have to be there in the first place? Not just "I don't like the execution of the war" vs. "We need to escalate the war"


The Report can be found here.

From the report:

Coverage overwhelmingly reflected the official line on the moral case for war: over 80% of TV and press stories mirrored the government position and less than 12% challenged it.

Controversial issues such as civilian casualties and anti-war protest accounted for considerably less than 10% of news stories across both TV and newspapers.
