Well it's a comment on an article about the establishment media, so let's assume I'm talking about ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, etc.
Now, think back to the Bush 43 administration and contrast those media outlets' treatment of his presidency with their reporting today.
- antidaily 13y agoNYT helped sell Iraq war. What are you talking about?
- officemonkey 13y agoA substantial number of Democrats voted for the Iraq war. However, a more-fitting statement would be "the establishment media supports the establishment" which is true 100%.
- anon1385 13y agoSince when are Fox News and the Wall Street Journal not part of the establishment? Also, I would hardly say the institutions you listed were particularly critical of Bush. They went along with the Iraq war build up by republishing the government misinformation about WMD without question and so on.
- clarkmoody 13y agoFox News launched in 1996, hardly as established as the big 3 news networks, especially when we're following the evolution of media since the Vietnam era. WSJ launched in 1889, so it would definitely be considered "establishment." Of course I wouldn't mention anything that would damage my own position in the argument ;-)
