Subtle yet effective media bias
Patterico has a fantastic post that demonstrates one of the most subtle yet effective tactics in the arsenal of agenda driven journalists. Some call it spatial bias. Patterico calls it â??The Power of the Jumpâ?ťâ?˘ a semi-regular feature documenting examples of the Los Angeles Timesâ??s use of its back pages to hide information that its editors donâ??t want you to see.
Wouldnâ??t it be something if many legal experts believed that the program might actually be legal?
Well, guess what? Apparently, they do, according to a story in todayâ??s L.A. Times. But youâ??d never know it if all you read was the front page. The editors bury the nugget on the back pages, almost as an afterthought.
Itâ??s 22 paragraphs before we get there. The story doesnâ??t tell us exactly how convincing the experts find this argument, but the quote from Sunstein suggests that at least some of them find the argument pretty convincing. Iâ??m not 100% certain I buy it myself, based on what I know â?? but then, Iâ??m not a legal expert.
At the very least, the fact that there is a real question out there deserves a hell of a lot more prominence than the editors gave it this morning.

Check out a funny site dedicated to the absurdity and satire nature of saying â??Itâ??s All George Bushâ??s Fault!”

I hope that you don’t think this is spam. I really do think that you’d appreciate a site like this since we share the same idealogy. Hopefully you like it enough to blogroll
