Why the White House Struggles to Be Heard

Administration bemoans death of bully pulpit

(NEWSER) - Even if it seems like the president is constantly on TV and in the press, the White House says it’s struggling to get its message out: the “bully pulpit” is no more, writes Howard Kurtz for the Daily Beast . “There’s an alternative story here that we’re trying to tell,” says the president’s communications director.

Forget Best : Colbert Wants to Be Worst

Demands title from Olbermann over sweet-talking email to Mark Sanford

(NEWSER) - Stephen Colbert is a glutton for punishment. Keith Olbermann dished some out to conservative media outlets Tuesday, spanking them for plying Gov. Mark Sanford with email offers of friendly treatment, and awarding them “Worst People in the World” honors. But he omitted Colbert, despite Colbert’s email offering Sanford “a friendly place to make light of what I think is a small story that got blown out of scale.” Colbert, in turn, demanded Olbermann give him full credit.

Media Sucked Up to Sanford to Get Access, Emails Show

But today’s back-patting is hypocritical, writes Glenn Greenwald in Salon: the US media have all but ignored foreign journalists imprisoned by our own government, often with little reason. Case in point: the US held an al-Jazeera cameraman for 6 years without a trial. Where was the media on that one? More»

US Media Leading Propaganda War on Iran

It's blindly beating the war drums once again: Glenn Greenwald

(NEWSER) - The American media took its lumps after the Iraqi war for not challenging the government's allegations against Saddam Hussein. It promised to learn its lesson. Guess what? The same thing is now happening in regard to Iran, with a twist: The media is actually "out in front of the US government in the propaganda effort rather than in their normal position of submissively marching behind," writes Glenn Greenwald in Salon .
