"Consider two salient facts: 1) much of the contemporary world is dominated by giant, multinational corporations; 2) the media system reporting on that world is itself made up of giant corporations. Indeed, media entities are often owned by the same giant corporations they are tasked with covering." David Edwards & David Cromwell, Guardians of Power: The Myth of the Liberal Media

Medialens Alert

Some really interesting stuff coming from Medialens at the moment on how the media operates. This was the first piece they wrote, and today they published a response they got from former Guardian and Observer journalist Jonathan Cook (the full essay he wrote is here).

It's a fascinating essay and really brings home from an insider how the mainstream media filter out dissenting views.
