I'll be throwing relevant links of interest about The Media in this thread as I find ones that interest me. For now, here's a good place to start:
- Per a study on "job killer" claims, as discussed in dailyKos: Liars "can count on media quoting w/o pushback, and ultimately treating lies as reality"
- Daily Kos: "Republicans say 'job killer.' Traditional media fails to challenge or fact-check. Then repeats it." http://goo.gl/36nxM (6/14/2012)
- Slide to 10:50 or so for Colbert's laser-focused take-down of the media, which is as relevant today as 2006

- Where do Americans get their news and who controls what they consume? Ten years ago, when The Nation first charted a map of the National Entertainment State, four colossal conglomerates spread across the media landscape. Today, that map has significantly changed, because of the rise of new media and a vigorous reform movement, but the old corporate giants still hold most of the cards. Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft are quickly rising, but are not included in this chart because they do not own--not yet, anyway--the major television networks, which remain Americans' #1 source of news.
