A little media analysis

Thanks to TiVo we just watched the October 10th episode of Now with Bill Moyers. In this episode, Moyers talked with one of my favorite media analysts, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, about the untruths and deliberate misrepresentations in attack ads by both Obama and McCain. It's a very informative and revealing discussion, andI would highly recommend it to one and all. It's not about partisan politics, but about holding candidates and their campaigns to basic standards of ethical behavior. Very, very good.

You can find the discussion here. (Sorry, I couldn't find a way to embed the video into the blog.)
