	Phil's Blogservations Monday, October 28, 2002 Posted by philgomes 7:04 PM Issue Of Press Bias Gets Renewed Focus: I'm glad the political bias in the press—liberal or conservative, actual or imagined—is getting another look. I'm hoping this means that media consumers are getting more thoughtful about the news that they read. One could argue that this makes life difficult for a PR guy, I suppose, but this kind of critical thinking does make for a better world to live in, overall. News media insider Bernard Goldberg fired his shot with Bias and, with characteristic vitriol, Ann Coulter weighed in with Slander. Now Jim Kuypers, a Dartmouth professor, has taken a look at the coverage of some very controversial events and how the media has framed them. Kuypers takes particular issue with the Associated Press, since its content runs in so many newspapers and Web sites. Thus, he allegedly contends, the majority of public opinion is shaped by a handful of journalists. Now there are three books on this topic that I have to pick up! My reading stack is getting big enough as it is. I'm currently re-reading Aristotle's Rhetoric (the parallel-page Greek/English translation) and just cracked open Scott Adams' The Way Of The Weasel.
