More Media Bias?

Proving that no opinion is too absurd to make the editorial page of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Patrick Scully described as "an artist and activist" writes today (not available online) that the lastest Minnesota Public Radio billboard campaign, which features the slogan "91.1 News. Crisis coverage", is an example of "fear based marketing that puts MPR in league with the White House". Try to not laugh just yet. He then goes on to conclude, "I suspect that MPR, like most of the media, is biased in support of the administration's pro war view".

Yes, MPR is just a tool of the Bush administration propaganda machine. Katherine Lanpher, Gary Eichten, and Garrison Keillor take their marching orders from Karl Rove. Thanks for the larf Patrick. You made my morning.
