Without "media mediation," without the persistent truth-telling, fact-checking efforts of well-trained professionals, falsehoods can flourish.

Oh yes, the almighty truth-telling fact-checking mainstream media. I have two words for them. "Dan Rather".

In very few places can we find arrogance and ignorance so finely mixed as to defy separation.

The Steve and Cokie Show has amnesia but I recall the “media mediation” in the Alar apple fraud, The Audi automobiles that accelerated on their own as 60 Minutes had an air compressor attached to the transmission, The Great Global Cooling That Wasn't, just to net a few rotten fish from the mainstream.
I would call it A Hall of Shame but the “well-trained professionals” have none.

"Mediation" is a leftist code word they use to promote pacifism.

Dan Rather is a good point. We can even go back to Walter C. falsely stating that the communist NVA and their VC allies won TET 68. There is no doubt our nation’s media is bought and paid for, and; these clowns were some of the most liberal college sudents many years ago. There is no doubt in my mind that a conservative professor applying for a job at the majority of our colleges would not be hired.

“Media mediation”? That’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one. Cokie really believes the media is responsible for determining what is truth and what truth will be disseminated to the unwashed. Considering that Cokie’s version of truth is dictated by dem socialists I would say her objectivity is suspect.

I think Cokie would be most comfortable “reporting” for Pravda.
