David BauderLiberal Censors Target Fox on 'Toxic Asset' Beck: 'Clean It Up or Get Rid of It'Associated Press media reporter David Bauder has noted that Glenn Beck returns to Fox News from vacation on Monday with a total of 33 advertisers now unwilling to advertise on his program, including Wal-Mart, CVS, Clorox, and Sprint. Bauder explained it was a campaign to target Beck’s advertisers after he claimed President Obama was a racist, but Bauder failed to define the campaigners as liberals or Obama supporters, but merely as "a group that promotes political action among blacks." Later in the story, Bauder did make it quite clear this group wants Beck removed from television:
AP: Could Palin Flap Help Letterman's Ratings?
Such was posed Saturday by the Associated Press's David Bauder in a piece titled "Could Palin flap be Letterman's Hugh Grant?" Strap yourselves in tightly before proceeding, and please do so with caution: AP Headline: 'Is Media Playing Fair In Campaign Coverage?'
If the Associated Press is starting to think so, maybe the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz was right on Sunday when he warned "Reliable Sources" viewers that "there could be a big backlash against news organizations if this trend continues." On the other hand, wouldn't it be nice if the repercussions Kurtz presaged came from other media members similarly disgusted by what is passing for journalism this election cycle? Consider what the AP's David Bauder had to say about this issue in an article published moments ago with the headline, "Is Media Playing Fair In Campaign Coverage?" (emphasis added throughout, h/t NBer nkviking75): Reporter Quits Al Jazeera English for Anti-American BiasThe anti-American bias at Al Jazeera English became “so stereotypical, so reflexive” that former “Nightline” reporter David Marash quit his job with the Qatar-based channel, in part over that attitude. What was even more interesting was Marash's assertion that the anti-American attitude came more from the British administrators than the Arabs at AJE. In a March 27 article, AP television writer David Bauder reported the situation that made the award-winning reporter quit (all bold mine):
AP Just Noticed 'Iraq War Disappears' From TV
Of course, Bauder is trying to spin this neglect as mere "fatigue," as if the war were a fad that people have just grown tired of as opposed to TV losing interest because the war no longer fits the we-can't-win template that the media had been used to following with their coverage. In fact, the surge has gone so well that even Bauder had to give the campaign its due. |
