Politics, propaganda, and the state of the state (sigh). For students enrolled in Media and Politics (POL 2170), and anyone else wandering by.

Of course not! The loyal Bushies joining major media outlets is proof that the media is liberal — so liberal, in fact, that even the hard-core liberals who control the media feel so guilty about it that they need to hire hack propagandists from the Bush administration to try to counteract their own liberal liberalishness. Similarly, CNN hiring Steve Hayes also proves that the media is liberal.
Of course not! We know a priori that the media is liberal. This is just proof that the media is trying to trick us to think otherwise.
