The Leiter Reports: Editorials, News, Updates: Our Dangerous Mass Media: "Has anyone else noticed that the mainstream media--and I mean the genuinely middle-of-the-road media, not the crytpo-fascist media like Fox--is consistently reporting the recent decision in the Padilla case--and the less important 9th Circuit decision about the Guatanomo prisoners--under the rubric, 'Administration Suffers Setbacks in War on Terror,' instead of under rubrics like, 'Administration Suffers Setbacks in Its Attack on the Rule of Law and Democratic Rights,' or simply 'Victory for the Rule of Law and Democracy.' Any of these headlines would be appropriate; isn't it striking which one the media consistently choose?"
