The Media - Exposing some myths
I'm a John Stossel fan of sorts, too...
Back in June, Walter Williams wrote this in the Washington Times:
"John Stossel, ABC's '20/20' anchorman, has a recently released book about the various untruths we accept, many from the media and academic elite. The book is appropriately titled 'Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity.'
As a longtime media insider, Mr. Stossel is well positioned to talk about the media's gross lack of understanding that often becomes part of the conventional wisdom. Mr. Stossel gives many examples. Let's look at a few."
