From the Paper:

"Our News Media: Reliable or Biased? In recent years, the news media in the United States has become biased and self-serving to such an extent that they can no longer be trusted to be fair and objective. The dearth of objective news coverage about pervasive Bush Administration deceit and corruption, Abu Ghraib and related torture scandals, and criminal government incompetence in regard to the economy, deficits, and the war in Iraq demonstrates that the news media can justifiably be accused of being a propaganda tool for the Republican Party and the corporate establishment. Since the early nineteen-nineties, the electronic news media has relentless promoted the Republican Party and the corporate establishment and denigrated their critics."
