John McCain's all-around maverick-ness is being elevated by the media into an iconic brand status, right alongside Ford and Nike. The media, which admire the corporatization of campaigns, are hugely impressed by the development.

Indeed, the term "brand" conjures up an impenetrable, irrevocable image; an entrenched vision that cannot...

By so obviously snubbing Huffington, NBC looked petty. By stubbornly refusing to acknowledge its role in the Pentagon propaganda program, NBC looked weak.

Behold your so-called liberal media at work.

Of the two sad tales last week, one seemed petty; the other rather profound. In both cases, NBC...

Big surprise - the American people are taking it upon themselves to stop pro-war propaganda in the news, and the corporate media aren't reporting on it.

When hundreds of thousands of Americans protest the Iraq war year after year, the corporate media portray peace activists...

The last ten days have been among the most shameful in the history of American journalism.

On April 20th, the New York Times published its expose of the Bush administration's use of Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched "military analysts" to appear on TV to help sell the invasion of Iraq,...

One of the main themes of my new book, Right Is Wrong, is the role the media have played in allowing the lunatic fringe now in control of the Republican Party -- the people who believe in torture but don't believe in evolution -- to hijack our democracy. I document...

Poor Tim Russert. No longer the most simple-minded questioner on the block. Surprisingly surpassed by Stephanopoulos and Gibson with their hand fed questions from Sean Hannity.

What to do?

I know. Let's lie and accuse Barack Obama of not putting his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance!...

Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos did an outstanding job questioning Senator Obama during the PA debate. But even though they spent the first hour on many substantive issues--such as Obama's pastor's comments--they missed several key points that voters deserve to know.

Amongst them are these:
