B.I.A.S.

Posted on March 24, 2003 | 3 Comments

Yes children, the word of the day is “BIAS”. This Reuters article reports that a chemical arms factory might have been found near Najaf. Fortunately, the article also tells us that this news comes to us courtesy of Fox News and the Jerusalem Post. I don’t have to say anything concerning the alignment of the Jerusalem Post with regards to Iraq, but for those of you who might not know, Fox News is unashamedly and quite subjectively pro-war and very much right-wing: in short, a propaganda machine that’s programming empty American heads with rubbish.

If a real chemical arms factory were discovered in Iraq, I would have no problem dealing with that, but please, let the news at least be delivered in a somewhat less sensationalist and objective fashion.

Thank you.

    Its not only Fox that’s supporting the war, but in fact all of Murdoch’s rags and broadcast media (Sky News, The Sun, The Times,…) – despite his claim to give editors a free hand. See this Guardian article of a few weeks ago: http://media.guardian.co.uk/mediaguardian/story/0,7558,896864,00.html

    Not only is the news biased, the Sun also “generates” its own news: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003131896,00.html

    You mentioned the Jerusalem Post, but did you know that the ubiquitous Richard Perle is on their Board of Directors?
