Ten points to Mark Hasiuk for not just agreeing with my perspective on the chill and spin involved with Libby Davies and Israel. The ten points go for calling out corporate media as dropping its diligence in reporting on that and two other stories. Nothing new with that trend, but one thing refreshing about this is that he writes at the Vancouver Courier, a CanWest paper, a chain owned by the Israeli-government-supporting Asper family. Refreshing words here:
Beware of what you read. Don’t believe all you hear. The mainstream media is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
via Three so-called news stories expose media mindlessness.
And despite the Asper family’s financial troubles now perhaps allowing commentary that crosses corporate ideology, the Courier has in the past run pieces critical of corporate media and other CanWest properties even. So when some clear thinking shows up, it needs to be called out.
