Dogma At Eleven.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(EDITORIALS)
Media Bias: Perhaps no institution needs a New Year's resolution more than the elite press. Last year was again marked by its leftward bias.
The Media Research Center, the watchdog of the dominant media, has published its 14th annual "Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting." It is a useful and humorous reminder of the media's insularity and ideological arrogance.
To take a few examples, ABC News President David Westin receives the group's award for "Swiss Press Corps Award for Remaining Neutral in War Coverage." Westin achieved this honor by refusing to make a judgment about Sept. 11 before an audience at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
"The Pentagon as a legitimate target? I actually don't have an opinion on that, and it's important I not have an opinion on that as I sit here in my capacity right now," said Westin.
"I can say the Pentagon got hit, I can say this is what their position is, this is what our position is, but for me to take a position this was right or wrong, I mean, that's perhaps for me in my private life, perhaps it's for me dealing with my loved ones, perhaps it's for my minister at church. But as a journalist I feel strongly that's something that I should not be taking a position on. I'm supposed to figure out what is and what is not, not what ought to be."
ABC and Westin were forced in the ensuing furor to recant his remarks. But they are emblematic of the dogma of the church of the media. Journalism (with all its slanting to the left) first, country second. Moreover, God and faith don't even make most journalists' lists.
