Please listen to the weekly radio broadcast Counterspin (if your local NPR station does not play this show, then the podcast can be downloaded from the iTunes website). Counterspin is produced by the media watchdog group FAIR (fair.org) and provides in-depth criticism of the mainstream media and illustrates what the mainstream journalists have seemingly forgotten since journalism school (if they ever even attended).
