there's an article on MR on this.. please click on this link: http://monthlyreview.org/0603editr.htm The Left-Wing Media? by Robert W. McChesney and John Bellamy Foster If we learn nothing else from the war on Iraq and its subsequent occupation, it is that the U.S. ruling class has learned to make ideological warfare as important to its operations as military and economic warfare. A crucial component of this ideological war has been the campaign against "left-wing media bias," with the objective of reducing or eliminating the prospect that mainstream U.S. journalism might be at all critical toward elite interests or the system set up to serve those interests. In 2001 and 2002, no less than three books purporting to demonstrate the media's leftward tilt rested high atop the bestseller list. Such charges have already influenced media content, pushing journalists to be less critical of right-wing politics. The result has been to reinforce the corporate and rightist bias already built into the media system. |

well, as of today, friday the 6th, the cabinet has not ben formed. sources tell that, narendra bikram shah and narayan singh pun are likely to retain their portfolios of foreign affairs and physcial development [kantipur]. other than that, the weather god is acting wierd and its gham-pani, gham-pani syal ko bihe in kathmandu. prachanda sees the "bideshi hand" in surya bahadur's appointment and the congressi leaders stayed mum all day yesterday. rumors have it that, SBT is trying hard to include people like shailaja aharya, bamdev gautam and oli in his cabinet. this is all i know, which is of course, based on the "rasriya chapas" of this morning. namaste will keep you posted if i hear anything sensational. |
