	News propaganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		News propaganda is covert propaganda packaged as credible news without transparency as to source and motivation.
		As with any propaganda, news propaganda may be spread for purposes including political or ideological reasons, partisan agenda, religious motivation, and commercial motivation.
		A New York Times editorial (March 16, 2005) entitled "And now, the counterfeit news" affirms that at least 20 U.S. federal agencies, like the Department of Defense and the U.S. Census Bureau, produced and distributed hundreds of TV news reports since 2001 that were aired as if they were produced by the media.

	Scientists: Bush Distorts Science -
		The Bush administration has distorted scientific fact leading to policy decisions on the environment, health, biomedical research and nuclear weaponry, a group of about 60 scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates, said in a statement on Wednesday.
		The statement and the report both accuse the Bush administration of distorting and suppressing findings that contradict administration policies, stacking panels with like-minded and underqualified scientists with ties to industry, and eliminating some advisory committees altogether.
		New regulations and laws are necessary to fix the situation, the statement says.

	EZGeography - Distorted news
		Distorted news or planted news are terms in journalism for two deviated aspects of the wider "news media" wherein media outlets deliberately present false data, evidence, or sources as factual, in contradiction to the ethical practices in professional journalism.
		The distortion of fact does not violate any such code of ethics in the public relations industry (there is none), and the corrolary term of that trade is "news management," where the business of the public relations office is to use various means control what is reported in the news media.
		"News management" is a term in the public relations business for the process by which individuals and organizations (especially political parties) control information and their interactions with the news media to achieve some strategic objective.

	Journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While under pressure to be first with their stories, news media organizations usually edit and proofread their reports prior to publication, adhering to each organization's standards of accuracy, quality and style.
		New reports that were set to be released at expected times now can be published as soon as they are written and edited, increasing the deadline pressure and fear of being scooped many journalists must deal with.
		Some television news shows experimented with alternative formats, and many TV shows that claimed to be news shows were not considered as such by many critics, because their content and methods did not adhere to accepted journalistic standards.

	The Distorted View Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Distorted View Show (also known as Distorted View, Distorted View Daily, Distorted View Daily with Tim Henson, or DV) is an adult comedy podcast hosted by Tim Henson and broadcast most weekdays.
		The Distorted View Show is a podcast in which self-proclaimed "Media Darling" Tim Henson reads bizarre news stories from a comedic standpoint through verbal slapstick and parody.
		This celebrity news bit is typically introduced by a brief sound clip (such as a clip from Fred Durst's sex tape), followed by a comment from Tim, then followed by the pre-recorded skit introduction, which mimics the style of entertainment news programs such as Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, and The Insider.

	Minnesota News Council \| Determination 48
		And, in a news story on the Stillwater City Council's decision not to vote on a freeze resolution, which appeared 10 days after the march, the paper also briefly mentioned that the march had taken place.
		At the same time, news media editors must have wide discretion to determine what stories to report on and how to report them, provided, their decisions are unbiased and made in good faith.
		When news judgment appears to be influenced by the personal bias of a publisher, the credibility of the paper, and of the news media in general, is undermined.

		This can be done on a distorted map in which the sizes of geographic regions appear in proportion to their populations, whether it's people or goods, or other items.
		Creating a new map in which the area of each state is proportional to its population requires enlarging densely populated states and shrinking sparsely populated ones.
		The researchers extracted the dateline from about 72,000 wire-service news stories from 1994 to 1998 and changed a standard map (top) into a cartogram (bottom) in which the sizes of states are proportional to the frequency of their appearance in datelines.

		At a recent panel discussion on media coverage, a member of the audience, upset with the way television news handled a particular issue, stood up and loudly proclaimed that TV and radio journalists should be more careful in providing "fair" and "balanced" coverage.
		An allegation of news distortion is "substantial" when the distortion is deliberately intended to slant or mislead.
		It is not enough to dispute the accuracy of a news report, or to question the legitimate editorial decisions of the broadcaster.

	Saddam Tapes Being Distorted by News Media
		But once the blogosphere, talk radio and Fox News Channel -- on which Loftus is a contributor -- got wind of the contents of Saddam's conversations with underlings, some media organizations decided to cover the story -- sort of.
		Unfortunately, it appears the mainstream news media are not being honest with the American people, according to journalist Sher Zieve and former UN weapons inspector and translator Bill Tierney.
		For instance, ABC using their own translator is reporting that there's nothing new in the tapes and they don't provide any information on weapons of mass destruction.

		The constant barrage of negative news the media chooses to report on bothers me, depicting quite a different view of what is transpiring over here.
		I am forced to ponder the value of a news-media that only reports a distorted view of events based on what they determine will sell papers and magazines or news that supports their own biased political attitudes.
		What is the value of news that doesn't tell the true story, but only a one-sided biased interpretation predetermined before the news events even occur.

	Jackson metro & state news - The Clarion-Ledger
		WASHINGTON — The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, a coalition with more than 180 member organizations, on Monday sent a letter to the executive producer of CBS News' 60 Minutes expressing outrage over Mike Wallace's portrayal of the debate surrounding the nomination of Charles Pickering to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
		The Leadership Conference — the nation's oldest, largest and most diverse civil and human rights coalition — and more than 84 national, state and local organizations opposed Pickering's confirmation, saying his record as a district court judge and as a state senator shows his hostility to civil and constitutional rights.
		President Bush gave Pickering a special appointment to the New Orleans-based appellate court in January when Congress was in recess.

		If we rigidly applied truth-in-advertising laws to the national media in their coverage of the 2006 campaign, we would have first declared that the stuff between the commercials wasn’t “news” as much as a boatload of free infomercial advertising for the Democrats.
		They have made a mockery out of the term "objective journalism" and a laughingstock of themselves at the idea that they should be considered objective journalists.
		But that was some kind of joke: the news media were very much “on message” with that scandal.

	Petition from Fired Fox Journalists - Center for Media and Democracy
		The appellate court overturned the case because it determined the FCC policy against news distortion was never formally adopted as a rule, and therefore doesn't qualify under the Florida whistleblower statute.
		While it's true that the FCC has a policy (but not a "rule," which is the distinction the appeals case turned on) against "news distortion," it's never really been enforced because of First Amendment considerations.
		Do we really want to open the Pandora's Box of the FCC determining whether a story is "distorted?" If a real hard-hitting story were broadcast, I can imagine Monsanto (or more likely an astroturf front group acting on it's behalf) turning the tables to quash such reporting.
