Fox's Cavuto: You damn well bet I'm slanted and
biased!
Baltimore Sun
Fair and balanced? Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto will
have none of that when it comes to commenting on the war. Responding to a
journalism prof's charge that the anchor has abandoned objectivity for
overt nationalism, Cavuto says: "There is nothing wrong with
taking sides here, professor. You see no difference between a
government that oppresses people, and one that does not, but I do. ... So
am I slanted and biased? You damn well bet I am, professor. I'm more in
favor of a system that lets me say what I'm saying here rather than one
who would be killing me for doing the same thing over there."

Critic: Smart people don't get war news from big
media
SF Weekly
You won't find Matt Smith sitting in front of a TV,
watching CNN and reading the New York Times these days. He's had it with
mainstream media. His beef: "It's now clear that, by
unquestioningly parroting Pentagon flackery, metropolitan daily
newspapers, broadcast and cable television networks, and radio networks
misled Americans into believing that the U.S. Army last month entered
an easily won battle from which the country could quickly extract
itself."
