Media Mash: Wis. Protest Edition; Bozell and Hannity Analyze Media’s Bias, Double Standards
February 25, 2011 No Comment
“It's like they have the same writer!” Fox News's Sean Hannity marveled after watching a montage of liberal journalists comparing the labor union protests in Madison, Wisconsin, with the anti-Mubarak demonstrations weeks ago in Cairo. “Sean, this is really goofy. These reporters should be embarrassed,” NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell agreed on last night's “Hannity.” “If you want to find a comparison, I'll give you a comparison. What do Mubarak, Qadhafi, and the Democratic legislators have in common?” the Media Research Center founder asked Hannity, answering with the punchline, “They're all in hiding.” Video follows page break Bozell and Hannity then took a look at how the media excoriated the Tea Party movement for “rancorous” debate but are silent on the harsh rhetoric from left-wing union backers in Madison, Wisconsin: SEAN HANNITY, host: What a shock, virtual silence from the media. BRENT BOZELL: It's not just virtual silence, it is complete silence from the national media. This is incredible. After a year of lectures about civility and the need to stop being so hate-filled and looking for those pictures of those whack-job Lyndon LaRouche supporters at Tea Party rallies that had those pictures equating Obama to Stalin, Obama to Satan, you have the exact same pictures now with Scott Walker. Look, when Sarah Palin had pictures on her website with crosshairs on counties, not people, counties, she was accused of being a participant in the murders in Arizona. Yet you've got that going on now [with Madison protesters putting crosshairs over pictures of Gov. Scott Walker (R)]. Bozell and Hannity also discussed the media meme that there's a Republican effort to bust labor unions. For the full segment, click the play button on the video embedded above.

Information is power and in the age of the information revolution, cyber and satellite communication is transforming our lives, reinventing the relationship between people and power. New media, from WikiLeaks to Facebook, Twitter to YouTube, is persistently challenging the traditional flow of information, and cyber disobedience is exposing powerful governments. Websites are now being treated like hostile territories; whistleblowers and leakers as terrorists, and hackers as insurgents. Governments are scrambling to salvage their influence and take advantage of the new cyber and satellite media. From China to the Sudan, Egypt to Iran, despots and armies are tracking web activity and setting up Facebook accounts to spy on their citizens. So is this the century of free information and expression as the cyber utopians predicted, or new methods of electronic oppression as the cyber sceptics warned?
