    The Bush administration is the first in history to launch a direct assault on journalists for violating the Espionage Act by releasing or publishing leaks of classified information. Although Congress originally passed the Espionage Act to prosecute government employees who divulge classified information to a foreign nation, it is now extended to reporters for doing their job - informing the public of our government wrongdoing, including breaking the law.

    Impeachment advocates are widely mobilizing in the U.S. Over 1,000 letters to the editors of major newspapers have been printed in the past six months asking for impeachment. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette letter writer George Matus says, "I am still enraged over unasked (…)

    Needless to say, the warhawks and Bushistas are trying to flood ABC with negative messages about the James Spader monologue on Boston Legal. They are out to make sure the speech never appears in reruns. If you agreed with the speech, if you applaud the stand for the Constitution expressed in the show, if you want to encourage mainstream media to finally exercise their role as watchdog on government abuse, even if it is in a drama, then YOU NEED TO WRITE IN AND SUPPORT THE SHOW.

    It is a sad fact of life in the media world that the major Networks, mainstream and cable,must of necessity have stringers,or what is currently labelled "embeds"...reporters whose job it is to spout the Administration’s drivel of the day.
    At CNN (the only network I dare watch), Barbara Starr and Jamie McIntire (military) and Dana Bash (White House) are called upon by news anchors on a regular basis to shore up the Administration’s position,thus perpetuating the BIG LIE. It is done smoothly (…)

    By Paul Waldman
    If you’re up early on Sunday mornings in Washington, you can observe a weekly ritual. Around 9am, a string of chauffeured town cars and SUVs pulls up outside the NBC studio on Nebraska Avenue in Northwest Washington where "Meet the Press" is recorded, and out tumble government officials and politicians, reporters, and pundits. They scan the weekend papers over coffee in the green room, catch up with the (…)

    by Jeremy Scahill CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr should be given some kind of award for the most outrageously off-target reporting on the newly released photos and videos of U.S. torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. In her numerous appearances during the morning news cycle on CNN after the images were first broadcast on Australia’s SBS television, Starr described what she saw as the "root of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal" as such:
