KURTZ: For once, the media must be doing something right, because 89 percent in a recent Pew Research Center poll are giving the fourth estate high marks for their coverage.
KURTZ: It is a longstanding dilemma to strike that balance between aggressive reporting and jeopardizing the safety of American troops.
KURTZ: I think the media are heading for a more serious and sober period in which international news, the military, intelligence agencies, and other subjects that have previously been on the back burner, will be getting lots of attention.

 Why Are We Back In Iraq?: Spinning Howard Kurtz
According to some liberal bloggers, Howard Kurtz, media critic and reporter for the Washington Post, is a shiller for GOP talking points.
To some liberal bloggers, Kurtz is running around the media telling everyone that the coverage of the war is too negative I guess because Karl Rove told him to (or told his wife to tell him).
HOWARD KURTZ, CNN'S RELIABLE SOURCES: Well, certainly not all of it, Wolf, and I don't agree with that woman in West Virginia who said that journalists are doing this because they don't agree with the Bush policy.

Howard Kurtz: Since the CBS apology came exactly 30 minutes ago, it may be a little early to conclude that no one will lose his or her job.
Howard Kurtz: The media ARE self-absorbed, but, much as I hate to disagree with your premise, having the most prestigious newsmagazine on the air make charges against the president of the United States and later have to admit it did so on the basis of bogus documents is a very large and important story.

 CNN.com - Howard Kurtz: Media ethics during the war on terrorism - October 11, 2001
KURTZ: Rice was very careful to cast this as a voluntary request, because I think the Bush White House is sensitive to the notion that it is strong-arming the press.
KURTZ: If there is any credible evidence about bin Laden sending such messages through these videotapes, it hasn't been shared with the media or the public.
KURTZ: This is an extraordinarily difficult time for the media, which are being presented with such challenges as whether to air enemy video tapes, and what information to hold back about U.S. military efforts.

Kurtz suggested Gregory was not "partisan" in pressing Snow to acknowledge that the Iraq Study Group utterly rejected Bush’s policy with "stay the course is not working" lingo.
Kurtz isn't buying, either: "Of course, he was so sickened by the spectacle that he quit, complaining about the media's role in the tawdry process, though he now gives every indication of enjoying his anti-Bush program." (There's also the on-air content that displays an agenda, such as...

 CJR - Books - Hot Air: All Talk, All the Time, by Howard Kurtz
If the level of our quotidian communion as a society is as debased as Kurtz claims (and his research is persuasive), then we're headed down a long slippery slope toward civil chaos.
Mark Twain said that Wagner's music isn't really as bad as it sounds; and Kurtz's mordant assessment of the effects of electronic talk may not be as overwrought and hyperbolic as it first appears.
Kurtz confesses, ever so peremptorily, that the ocean of blather we're swimming in does have an upside in that it reduces people's sense of isolation and powerlessness and gives them the illusion of participation in worlds -- political, social -- they're customarily excluded from.

 BuzzFlash > Editorial > GOP Hypocrite of the Week: Howard Kurtz
Howard Kurtz, alleged media critic for the Washington Post, took to the Wolf Blitzer CNN show to indignantly defend the faux journalist with a pseudonym, Jeff Gannon.
Kurtz went on to opine that any journalist could get a day pass to the White House and ask the President a question.
In short, Kurtz made Gannon (aka James Guckert) out to be the victim of some sort of liberal witch hunt.

 Howard Kurtz Defends White House Lies
KURTZ: Gloria Borger, your [CBS News] colleague, Jim Axelrod, and some of the other White House correspondents, sounded almost offended that Bush delivered what they considered to be a partisan speech on the 9-11 anniversary.
And, in fact, he said in an interview with Katie Couric, during her first week as [CBS Evening News] anchor, "That's the hardest thing that I have to do." And again, that is exactly what he was trying to do that evening.
KURTZ: But Gloria, you say that the journalists are just voicing the concerns of senators who are opposition.

Howard Kurtz: What I'm trying to do on "Reliable Sources" is bring on the journalists who make the news and subject them to the same kinds of questions they inflict on everyone else.
Kurtz: I'm not in favor of excess government regulation, but the trend toward more and more outlets owned by fewer mega-conglomerates is clearly troubling, in part because these giant companies don't much care about news.

 Powerpundit: Howard Kurtz On Eason Jordan
What Kurtz missed in all that background was any mention of Jordan's earlier comments in Portugal at the News Xchange forum last November.
Kurtz wants to pass this off as a mistake in word choices when Jordan's earlier accusations of US military personnel capturing and torturing journalists shows that his Davos comments weren't simply a lack of rhetorical clarity.
Kurtz also missed this earlier accusation of the Israelis targeting journalists from October 2002, again showing that Jordan has a pattern of making these accusations without any substantiation.

 CJR Daily: Howard Kurtz, Piñata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Other criticisms, like Kaus' (and a litany of right-wing bloggers') takedown of Kurtz over his failure to report the Eason Jordan scandal at CNN last February to their satisfaction, often look more like bloggy partisan sniping than anything really substantial.
Kurtz's problem is that he has a second, gratuitous conflict with the giant conglomerate the Post pays him to cover." Fact is, there is a conflict here, but despite his critics' best efforts, none of Kurtz's alleged transgressions have produced enough heat to cause him any damage.
Some claim this is because Kurtz is such a presence in the media world that most critics are afraid to really go after him -- but that's hard to believe, and that claim ascribes to Kurtz power he just doesn't have.

 Media Circus by Howard Kurtz - A Book Review by Scott London
Howard Kurtz has created a name for himself in and around Washington covering the media beat for the Washington Post, and he is a frequent contributor to magazines like the Columbia Journalism Review, The Washington Monthly, and The New Republic.
Although the fly leaf of Media Circus goes a little overboard, describing Kurtz variously as a "scrupulous reporter," a "dogged investigator," a "lucid writer," and "one of the handful of reporters who gets any respect these days," he is no doubt one of the more incisive journalists in the business today.
But it is an energetic and well-written book, rich with insights and anecdotes, and compared with most media critiques these days, that is saying a lot.
