FYI -A

From: Richard Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Rnoyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, January 31, 2000 10:41 AM Subject: Latest Issue of MediaNomics The latest MediaNomics is now on the Web, with two
new stories this week.
First, two liberal public policy groups, the Center
on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) and the Economic Policy Institute (EPI),
got a lot of attention recently when they released a report alleging a sizeable
and growing income gap between rich and poor workers. Their report received
little critical media coverage, but perhaps none was as glowing as a pair of
reports on CNN’s Newsroom, a half-hour cable news program produced for
use in classrooms all over the world. But both students and regular news viewers
should have been told that there's more to the story than a flawed report by two
liberal interest groups.
And, all too often, it seems, the media fall into
the trap of equating dollars with progress. But MRC news analyst Paul Smith
caught CNN’s Charles Feldman offering a contrarian position in a report that
aired on The World Today on January 13.
Also, last week's articles on CBS's unscientific
take on global warming and the media's hostility to tax cuts are still
available. Visit the MediaNomics archive:
