Aaron Schwartz provides an excellent description of the recent lack of objectivity in the media regarding the recent news that the data released in the U.S. Government's terror report was deeply flawed. Apparently, the report was sent to the printers in November, but was intended to cover all of 2003 -- but virtually no media outlets covered this part oft he story - and none pushed Colin Powell on the issue in interviews!!

Many details and example can be found in Aaron's comprehensive post on the isse. It is a must read.

Who can you trust when government tries to pass off 10.5 months of data as the entire year, and then the media fails to report that fact? These are scary times indeed.

Hello fellow Canadian blogger!

A question for you: you seem to imply from your page title that media objectivity is a good thing, that is for some sad reason missing from our current media landscape. Do you then argue that media objectivity is possible and/or desirable and why?
