Through the Media Looking Glass: Decoding Bias and Blather in the News

Through The Media Looking Glass: Decoding Bias And Blather In The News covers how white pundits keep lecturing about the moral failures of black people; how corporate power affects news coverage on a daily basis; Jimmy Carter and human rights - behind the media myth; aspects of President Clinton's record rarely mentioned by the mass media; selective news reporting on events overseas from Haiti and Angola to Israel and East Timor; the continuing power of the tobacco industry to affect media coverage; and Boris Yeltsin's free ride in the American press. Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon are seasoned and experienced observers of the American news media. Through The Media Looking Glass pulls no punches and spares no sacred media cows. -- Midwest Book Review--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
