The Disease of Right-wing Framing

Robert Cole, AlterNet

The media continually reiterates right-wing language when framing the

debate over healthcare. The loser is not just John Kerry but also

the American voter.

Dan's Nine Lives

Danny Schechter, MediaChannel.org

While rightwingers may be breaking out the champagne to celebrate the

humiliation of their favorite punching bag, reports of the demise of

Dan Rather's career are greatly exaggerated.

Designing Women

Sandy Kobrin, Women's eNews

The fastest-growing segment of the entertainment industry, video

gaming, is dominated by men. Can Lara Croft save us?

Rather Ridiculous

John Nichols, The Nation

In their search for a 'scoop,' CBS played right into the hands of the

Bush spin machine. The result: the American public may never know the

plain undisputed facts about their president.

Blog TV

Annalee Newitz, AlterNet

Citizens of the blogosphere have become both the instigators and

consumers of reality TV.

Texas Film-School Massacre

Noy Thrupkaew, The American Prospect

Michael Moore-bashing, conspiracy theories, and more at the first

conservative film festival.

The Son of Reagan

Nina Burleigh, AlterNet

An emergency team of former Reagan aides has swooped in during these

last months of the re-election campaign to help recast George Bush as

the true heir of the Gipper.

Cuckoo for Cocoa Ads

Matt Taibbi, AlterNet

A much lauded ad campaign uses a new bag of tricks to shill its

product, Snickers. Too bad that bag of tricks is just an innovative

visual spectacle obscuring child labor issues and non-Fair Trade cocoa.

The New York Times vs. Michael Moore

Richard Blow, TomPaine.com

The New York Times refuses Michael Moore permission to reprint a

story, claiming that it doesn't want to be 'part of a political battle.'

Not On Our Side

Laurie Spivak, AlterNet

By harnessing the creativity of the progressive community, MoveOn

counters the Bush administration's cynical and deceptive ad campaign

with flair.

Journalism Under Fire

Bill Moyers

" I believe democracy requires 'a sacred contract' between journalists

and those who put their trust in us to tell them what we can about how

the world really works. "
