	Our Media Must Change
		Of course, the American media is trying to serve the interests of the United States which mobilized its forces, people and government to fight terrorism.
		The American media is biased; we all know that the media worldwide is not partial but the American media is also dishonest.
		For our media to be able to function as it should, it needs to get the required information and ensure the cooperation of experts and those capable of influencing and informing public opinion.

	American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Calls for Preservation of Diversity In American Media Markets and Greater FCC ...
		WASHINGTON - The American Civil Liberties Union today called on the Federal Communications Commission to publicly release a specific rule change, reportedly under discussion internally, that would relax media ownership regulations and permit greater corporate concentration and cross-ownership of the mass media.
		Media concentration has become, in recent years, an emerging debate as large corporations, such as the radio giant Clear Channel, are realizing economies of scale through seeking local monopolies.
		And, although there may be a difference of opinion on whether media concentration automatically results in lack of diversity, the ACLU said, relaxation of the rules could have such a consequence and the public and Congress need to be able to examine and comment on the proposal.

		One of the sources of misunderstandings between the media and the military is the widely held perception among conservatives, both inside and outside the military, that the press was largely responsible for America’s defeat in the Vietnam War.
		Whether or not the media have a liberal bias, it is certainly true that journalists see it as their role to expose abuses of power by large institutions, and in the military arena to publicize instances where democratic and military values clash.
		The media later claimed that it had been unwittingly co-opted into an elaborate deception designed to draw attention to the Marine amphibious force off the coast—a force that the joint commander in chief, General Norman Schwarzkopf, did not intend to employ—so as to distract the Iraqis from the true objectives.

	The perfect storm? The American media and Iraq Lance Bennett - openDemocracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The American media’s coverage of the 2003 Iraq war reinforces the pattern established in the wake of 9/11: a combination of intimidation, collusion, inattention, and ethnocentrism.
		Even though pre-war opinion polls only imperfectly reflected administration media cues, the ways in which the news reported those polls (along with other indicators of opinion, such as demonstrations) suggests that our images of the importance of publics in various political contexts are overwhelmingly media constructions.
		The inward turn of American journalism may also reflect the unwillingness of most politicians (also known as ‘leading news sources’) to risk their patriotic credentials either by questioning the values and motives behind government decisions to use force, or by crediting outsiders when they do so.

	American media unquestioningly defends Israeli violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The American public is deliberately being kept ignorant about the history and reality of the situation in the Middle East, as part of the combined effort by Washington and Tel Aviv to impose their brutal will on the people of the region.
		A parade of Zionist government officials appears on American television: on Wednesday alone, Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres (to borrow a phrase from Philip Roth, speaking with “all the cold authority of that voice dipped in sludge”), former prime ministers Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, Israeli ambassador to the US, Dan Gillerman.
		If the American television networks had the slightest honesty, they would have begun their news programs Wednesday with the fact that Louise Arbour of the UN High Commission on Human Rights suggested that Israel might be guilty of war crimes.

	A BBC veteran looks at the American media - MarketWatch
		LONDON (CBS.MW) - Like many Americans, Rachel Atwell is perplexed by the media in the U.S. The 53-year-old Atwell heads the television news operation of the British Broadcasting Corp. On the afternoon of Sept. 14, I interviewed Atwell at the BBC headquarters in the White City area of London.
		As blunt as a spoon, she indicated that the American media veer between acting downright ludicrous and mind-numbingly illogical, though she was far too polite to come right out and use those words.
		Like many American media critics, Atwell finds the performance of the White House press corps to be appalling at times in terms of the docile way it covers the administration.

	Bush’s Early Blunders in the War Are Downplayed by the American Media: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		Although Arabic television networks may well be overemphasizing the civilian carnage in Iraq, the American media is just as obligingly de-emphasizing it as they underplay the early mistakes of U.S. and British forces.
		This should alert an informed observer to the possibility that the American media are downplaying other uncomfortable facts in the military campaign.
		Most Americans don’t think of their government as an empire, but in fact the United States has been steadily expanding its control of overseas territories since the turn of the twentieth century.

	Why the American Media No Longer Even Knows HOW To Report "NEWS" - April 19, 2006
		In his article this week, The People vs the Press, Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media related a story about a broadcast journalist in the military who found, on returning to the States, that the major media networks "don't want to portray the good.
		Is this, as Cliff suggested, because the "The media want us to fail in Iraq and the people want us to win?" I reread the interview by Lisa Myers of NBC with a Taliban commander broadcast on Nightly News on December 27, 2005 to see if I could find out.
		Then we were told in the article: that "Ismail's men were waiting with a rocket-propelled grenade" when the terrorists' tried unsuccessfully to get a Navy Seal to surrender." We already knew that since it had taken place 4 months prior to her writing the article.

		The unrealistic ideals portrayed by many of the models that appear in magazines and on television have been shown to negatively affect the way a number of women feel about their bodies.
		"The level of muscularity and attractiveness that are idealized in the media often are not attainable for the average man," Tantleff-Dunn notes.
		More research is needed to better understand just how male body image issues are changing, the authors report, but the key, Tantleff-Dunn says, "will be to help people develop realistic expectations about their appearance, as well as the appearance of others, and avoid buying into ideals that are impossible or unhealthy to obtain."

		The mainstream media approach has been to ignore most of the Downing Street memo implications, dismiss others by arguing that everyone in Washington knew the president was going to war back in late 2002, and grudgingly admit that there could have been better “post-war’” planning.
		A huge proportion of media articles and talk-show blatherings on the Downing Street Memo scandal has been devoted to discussing why the media is not covering the story, even while they continue to do just that.
		Personally, I was so upset about the media’s non-coverage of the memos that I began handing copies of the memo out to the general public during my weekly anti-war protests.
