Arnett Blames �Right-Wing Media� Who Fear His �Truth� Telling It took Peter Arnett just a few hours to hook up with a far-left, virulently anti-American tabloid in London. In his first piece for the Daily Mirror, Arnett charged that he lost his job because the U.S. government and �right-wing media� fear his �truth� telling. He blamed the end of his �successful NBC reporting career� on how �I stated the obvious to Iraqi television; that the U.S. war timetable has fallen by the wayside.� Arnett elaborated on the conspiracy against him: �The right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here.� 2. NBC Story Cites MRC Monitoring of �Alleged Liberal Bias� Monday's NBC Nightly News used Peter Arnett's forced departure from NBC News as a hook for a story on the debate over whether reporting dissent conflicts with patriotism, a story which, after noting angry e-mail to NBC over Arnett, mentioned how �alleged liberal bias in the media is what the Media Research Center in Virginia looks for every day.� 3. Newsweek: Bush as �Red Buttons� and Cheney as �Arrogant� A particularly vicious �Conventional Wisdom� box in this week's Newsweek with President Bush assigned a down arrow because �his war cluelessly flings open the gates of hell� and Vice President Cheney also getting a down arrow for once suggesting that �we will be greeted as liberators,� a forecast Newsweek denounced as �an arrogant blunder for the ages.� In awarding Tony Blair an up arrow for how he �can actually explain this thing coherently,� the magazine couldn't resist a shot at Bush: �He's Churchill to Bush's Red Buttons.� 4. Hersh: �Never Too Early� to Brood About Another Vietnam It's never too early to worry about another Vietnam, Seymour Hersh contended on Monday's Today. Brought aboard to expound on his article in the New Yorker about how Donald Rumsfeld repeatedly demanded a reduction in the number of troops to be deployed, Hersh insisted: �It's never too early to start hearing words like, we're, you know, 'there's light at the end of the tunnel.'...some of us from the Vietnam War� see �a tremendous discrepancy between what the four-star generals and the high officials in this government� and so for those who �went through the Vietnam War it's sort of terrifying to think it's starting already." 5. AP Reporter Worries About U.S. �Demonizing the Iraqis� A day after suggesting Iraqis who use terroristic tactics are just employing �legitimate resistance� methods, AP reporter Nicole Winfield followed up at Monday's CENTCOM briefing by worrying about why the coalition is �demonizing the Iraqis� in para-military units by tagging them as �terrorist death squads,� a classification which she suggested could imperil U.S. POWs. 6. Garofalo: �Stupid People� Watch Fox & Talk Radio Hosts Lie On HBO, Janeane Garofalo denounced the U.S. attack on Iraq as �not fair� because it is an �unprovoked strike.� She suggested the attacks on the Dixie Chicks are a �wonderful way for really stupid people to hook up. They meet...they tell stories about who their favorite Fox anchor is...� When co-panelist Michael Graham, a radio talk show host, recalled seeing a sign at an anti-war march proclaiming, �We Support Our Troops...When They Shoot Their Officers,� Garofalo doubted it ever existed and flew into a rage about how �that's what all you right-wing radio hosts do. You make s*** up all the time.� See today�s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030401.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement TimesWatch.org A new project of the Media Research Center "Launched in March 2003, Times Watch is dedicated to documenting and exposing the liberal bias, factual errors and outright goofs of the New York Times, America's most influential newspaper. Times executive editor Howell Raines calls criticism of his paper's bias a 'disinformation' effort 'of alarming proportions.' Times Watch hopes to further alarm Mr. Raines."

Unfortunately, the liberal media are skewing their news coverage to favor those opposed to the U.S. action against Saddam Hussein. The Media Research Center has documented this bias as part of our continuing Media War Watch coverage.
