The failure of US journalism

An excellent report from AlJazeera
"Before, during and after the war, mainstream commercial journalists have failed to provide the critical analysis, independent reporting, and the diverse range of opinions necessary for the American public to evaluate the Bush administration’s claims
about the war."

It has been a huge disapointment for me to see the partisan viewpoint presented by the whole of american media. No wonder the American people grow up to be such insular and dumb with respect to anything outside US. They have no respect to cultures, tradition, and humanity of other cultures. It is so different talking to an average American compared to say an average asian or european - the depth and breadth of their knowledge on anything other than comic strips, sitcoms, baseball, and football is appalling.
