American journalism

As some of you know, one of the big themes here at Armscontrolwonk is wondering what to do about the apparent inability or unwillingness of the American media to challenge how the Administration frames security issues. Michael Massing has a detailed indictment in the New York Review of Books of the New York Times and, to a lesser extent, the Washington Post.

He concludes that American news organizations need to ignore “charges of liberalism and anti-Americanism” and begin “incorporating more reporting and footage from international news organizations” into their coverage.
