	Alex Lynch: American Mainstream Media: Institutionalized Subjectivity
		Considering the power American opinion has over the world due to periodicals and broadcasts that span the globe, it could be argued that American mainstream media is by far the most important and should be the most scrutinized of any.
		Another debatable usage in the linguistic repertoire of American media is "massacre," particularly pertaining to the city of Jenin in the Palestinian territories.
		American media, backed in a corner, didn't question why the inquiry was cancelled; instead it blamed Palestinian officials for sending "disinformation" about the numbers of dead and questioned their "integrity" because of it.

	Mainstream Media - Global Issues
		The mainstream media of the developed and freer, nations pose an often unmentioned or poorly analyzed problem: the lack of objective reporting that is not influenced and, to a growing degree, controlled by elites with concentrated ownership to advance their interests.
		Media omissions, distortion, inaccuracy and bias in the US is something acknowledged by many outside the USA, and is slowly realized more and more inside the US.
		However, due to those very same omissions distortion, inaccuracy and the bias in the US mainstream media, it is difficult for the average American citizen to obtain an open, objective view of many of the issues that involve the United States.

	BuzzFlash > Contributor > American Mainstream Media: More by Will than by Reason
		The media and journalism in the United States, for the most part, is a business with stake holders that occupy the top positions and although a majority of reporters may be liberal, the upper reaches of the system is dominated by those who have an overwhelming conservative lean.
		Yet, the subject is hardly touched by the media and the reason is obvious; the protection of the system and, to use a journalist‘s quip, it would be a "conflict of interest" to allow a report on one‘s own downfalls.
		But it is important to understand that, in the American mainstream media, there is not a struggle between conservatives and liberals, it couldn’t be called a struggle, more like a trouncing.

	Media Consortium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Consortium of media organizations that has delayed announcing the results of the Florida presidential election ballot study contends that it had absolutely no idea who was going to win that recount.
		This dishonesty is entirely consistent with the mainstream media’s pattern of lying that recurred throughout the presidential campaign.
		It is important to emphasize that we do not allege the conglomerates that control the American mainstream media have engaged in a conspiracy, only that they have damaged American democracy by conducting themselves with unpatriotic self interest and all consuming greed.

	Venezuela under threat from Anglo-American administration, military and media (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The following analysis seeks to expose the dishonest complicity of US-UK mainstream media in the build-up to war in Iraq and the denial of its horrendous consequences.
		The Anglo-American mainstream media are overwhelmingly guilty of simultaneous lying by commission about the biggest lie of history and lying by omission about the biggest crime in human history.
		Exposure of this mendacious mainstream media complicity applied to Afghanistan and Iraq may help constrain further illegal Anglo-American violence throughout the World that has been foreshadowed in the 2005 Presidential Inauguration.

	Media in the United States - Global Issues
		The idea of “citizenship education” grew from these ideals stressing the education of the American institutions, the value of democracy, thinking critically about their society and their roles in that society etc. But “with business groups looking to schools essentially to educate workers for a complex industrial society” an inherent conflict was brewing.
		The elite domination of the media and the marginalization of dissidents that results from the operation of these filters occurs so naturally that media news people, frequently operating with complete integrity and goodwill, are able to convince themselves that they choose and interpret the news “objectively” and on the basis of professional news values.
		The media is in the midst of a transformation which the Bush administration is keen to foster.

	The Media's Twisted Coverage of the Middle East: Preliminary Thoughts
		It's clear that the American media's portrayal of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is dishonest in the extreme, to the extent of literally reversing the positions of the aggressor and the victim, and there are dozens of commentaries to that effect in the Media Analysis portion of my Palestinian-Israeli Conflict Research Guide.
		The effect of the American mainstream media's obfuscation has been to leave most Americans viewing the conflict as an interminable and inexplicable war apparently based on religious hatreds.
		And because Americans have not been allowed to become informed, and they are told endlessly in so many different ways that the Israelis are the good guys, that's who a large majority of Americans support.

		The media is also correct that they have both a right and obligation to cover all sorts of provocative stories, stories that may anger the government and the people.
		It is true that these ethical standards are voluntary, but they should be adhered to by media organizations that honestly want to be considered outlets of “record.” Most important, the media must also take into consideration that it must not merely consider the American people.
		The Abu Ghraibs and mismanagement of certain aspects of government must be covered by the media, but things must be placed into proper perspective for Americans and members of the world community, particularly in times of war.

	The 'Media Party' is over - Howard Fineman - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		I'm talking about the "mainstream media," which is being destroyed by the opposition (or worse, the casual disdain) of George Bush's Republican Party; by competition from other news outlets (led by the internet and Fox's canny Roger Ailes); and by its own fraying journalistic standards.
		Yes, I know: The notion of a neutral "mainstream" national media gained dominance only in World War II and in its aftermath, when what turned out to be a temporary moderate consensus came to govern the country.
		The moment it made air it began to fall apart, and eventually was shredded by factions within the AMMP itself, conservative national outlets and by the new opposition party that is emerging: The Blogger Nation.

	Time for the Truth
		They and their colleagues in the American print and television news media fanned the flames of war for weeks and months, and cheered the invasion when it began.
		The media embraced the illusion that became Operation Iraqi Freedom, and complied with the admonition that any criticism of the war or the president was akin to an act of treason.
		Bush persuaded Americans to back the invasion of Iraq last year, the most plainly dishonest was his effort to link his war of choice with the battle against terrorists worldwide.

	trinicenter.com - Hugo Chávez must be returned
		These mischievous mainstream media focused on a few thousand persons on the streets in Venezuela in what was clearly an orchestrated protest and many failed to mention that a few thousand is a small fraction of Venezuela’s population of 24 million.
		The mainstream media and the U.S. government have already condemned Chávez to the annals of history as an erratic leader and are openly showing support for the coup leaders.
		He tried it by Western rules and overwhelmingly won the election but was not allowed to pursue a program that has the support of the majority in his country.

	U.S. Media "Discovers" the Real, "Old" News
		But unlike the American mainstream press, I have argued that these innocent victims were primarily killed by particular U.S. bombing strategies, not by mistakes.
		The second incident recently discovered by the mainstream press in the United States is the November 16th bombing of a madrassa school and mosque in the city of Khost, and a few hours later the attack upon the home of Maulvi Sirajuddin [Paktia Province].
		During the subsequent four days, the American mainstream press uncritically presented the official U.S. interpretation: A sophisticated new drone plane had successfully fired a missile at three "tall men in long robes" who were al Qaeda leaders regrouping in their old stomping grounds, the bases in the Zhawar area.

		To them, the sour and disappointed tone of their American counterparts can almost be regarded as business as usual, while Britain is much closer to the USA both politically and culturally; and — notwithstanding Wilde — linguistically.
		Kagan then continues with statements such as ‘Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus’ (paraphrasing a pop psychology bestseller about men and women), and the conclusion is unequivocal: The two continents have drifted apart, and they are no longer on talking terms.
		Americans are driven by a pragmatic common sense and the notion that if you have power, you had better use it.

		The Masons were accused of plotting the American and French Revolutions, the Jack the Ripper killings, the downfall of religion, and of dominating republican politics.
		The subject of suppressed-invention conspiracy also touches on the realm of medical quackery: proponents of more unlikely forms of alternative medicine are known to allege conspiracy by mainstream doctors to suppress their cures, particularly when faced with charges of medical fraud.
		Proponents also note Bush’s ties to Saudi Arabia, the nation of origin for 15 of the 19 hijackers, the fact that videotapes of the attack on the Pentagon have been confiscated, rumors that several dignitaries were told not to fly that day, and Bush’s initial opposition to a commission to investigate the attacks.

	American Family Association - AgapePress news
		The American mainstream media has given short shrift to the brutal, ritualistic murder of U.S. citizen Nick Berg by Islamic extremists.
		Yet within the media's news pages and websites, the Iraqi prison scandal has been highlighted in such a way as to seriously detract from Berg's tragic beheading.
		Ever mindful of the 2000 election, both parties believe the absentee ballots of Americans living abroad could make the difference in what is being projected as another close presidential race.

	ZNet \|Mainstream Media \| The American Remake
		Rather than expose American audiences to scenes of other countries, sounds of languages other than English, or the risk of empathizing with foreign characters, the American film industry would rather make their own version of the same story.
		The homogenization of 'broads from abroad' is evident in the studied American accents affected by Watts and her countrywomen Nicole Kidman and Toni Collette, even when not in character.
		Actors are simply not accepted by the American film industry unless it is proven they can look, act, and talk just like us; effectively, that they have forgotten their past lives in other lands and are now one of us.

		Who, last time I checked, was a charter member of the media elite, holding forth for Newsweek and as an MSNBC talking head.
		Fineman has this theory that the media are a political party, and as such have about as much of a pulse as the Tammany Hall bosses of yore.
		But to cast the media as a party, even as a journalistic device, is seriously off the mark.

		Senator Kerry was being presented with the library's "Distinguished American Award"--a bust of John Kennedy.

		And that has a profound impact and undermines what we call the mainstream media of the country.

		The apex of European admiration for the American media came with the coverage of the Watergate scandal.
		European journalists, struck by the magnitude of the events that were unfolding before their eyes, treasured the lesson of independence that was coming from their transatlantic colleagues and committed themselves to put it to work in their own countries when dealing with their own political establishments.

		With their "pay for play" alliances (the buying and selling of public access and favorable media treatment), non-African American business owners and non-African American mainstream media set the standard in the public imagination for what music content and which recording artists are deemed worthy of public attention.
		Too many African American recording artists and music entrepreneurs (along with their advisors) continue to make peace with this world by equating "the acquisition of capital" (getting paid) with "self-determination" (freedom to choose one's own course of action and way of being in the world).
		With the enormous market power of the recorded music oligopoly and other concentrated media corporations, we are living in an age where controlling ideas in the form of cultural commodities is one of the primary methods by which most human beings are socialized.
