Cover of Life Magazine, January 7,1945. If we listened to the news media, we likely never would have won World War II. The Berlin Wall or worse would still scare the landscape of Germany. The Soviet Union would still be pointing thousands of nuclear weapons at us. And of course, if we listen to the media today, we will lose the Iraq war, we will coddle terrorists, Americans will die.
That's Prime Minister Winston Churchill painting while Europe burns. Who says media bias is a new phenomenon?
