Daily Dose of Kurtz

Howie on news bias:

Howard Kurtz: You can argue whether The Post and other news organizations are tough enough on those in power, but the notion that “corporate interests” are controlling the coverage is and has always been a canard. A more serious, if occasional problem, is pressure from advertisers, particularly from such mainstays as car dealers, supermarkets and department stores. But corporate executives telling reporters to go easy on an administration? No.
