Cal Thomas on the media
The media is reluctant to publicize their own shortcomings.
No surprise there.
However, if you do some searching, you find many people and organizations do keep track of media bias and erroneous reporting. Some even honor them accordingly...
Here's Cal Thomas's report of one such event:
"Last Thursday, I served as the unpaid master of ceremonies for the Media Research Center's 'Dishonors Awards' dinner in Washington. The annual event highlights the most outrageous statements by media heavies about Republicans, the Bush administration, terrorism and other subjects. To see these sound bites presented one after another focuses the mind as nothing else does on the opinionated news that so much broadcast journalism has become."
