Media Relations
Casting sesssions for the movie and finishing Blue Beetle #19 before Joan has kittens. To fill the time and pursuant to some of the discussion in the last post's comments, a link to the classic James Fallows article "Why Americans Hate the Media." from 1996. Oh, and The Glass Teat, since you kids today, arrrr... etc etc, insert cranky old guy noise. It's amazing how Ellison's issues with the media during the Nixon Administration are still relevant. Although considering the current Administration is really just the last gasp of the guys who got into power during Nixon's time, it may instead be entirely expected.

Thank you very much for posting the links. I'd heard of the "Why Americans Hate the Media" article but never read it. It nicely solidified my feelings on the matter. I have been happily media-free for a couple years, now.
Oh, and as to the question that the media is left- or right-leaning? I find it depends on the person making the assertion. For four years I was married to a rabid conservative; he claimed the media were all liberal whores. Now I'm married to a slightly-less rabid liberal, who insists that all news venues are conservative.
I figure that can only mean one thing: the media spends so much time tearing down whoever is in power that they seem negative to all outside observers.
(Interesting side note? Both spouses are/were highly approving of the Christian Science Monitor as neutral and responsible. May be indicative of something.)
The Monitor is actually quite a good paper.
Kudos on the nod to Harlan!
Good to see Unca Harlan getting some love! "The Glass Teat" is essential reading.
Speaking of Unca Harlan, he don't do the internet much beyond his own page, but I DID read your post to him a few minutes ago, and he was very flattered at the plug. He asked me to mention that he's still extant, still working, still pissed, and his Impeach Bush/Cheney sign sits on his front yard where his Impeach Nixon sign once stood.
He also asked me to mention - as long as you're talking about Harlan and TV - that on August 25th, at 10:00 PM PST, ABC will be running the fourth episode of the anthology series, Masters of Science Fiction. This particular episode is called The Discarded, and was written by Harlan and a pal of his of whom I'm particularly fond (and with whom you've hoisted a brew or two).
Brian Dennehy and John Hurt star (Hurt in his first American TV appearance, I believe), and it's pretty spiffy stuff, if I do say so myself.
And hell, as long as I'm exploiting your site for the promotion of all things Ellison, the very fine documentary Dreams With Sharp Teeth, directed by Erik Nelson ABOUT Harlan will be screening at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica on August 9. It's a hell of a piece of work, wildly entertaining, and if anyone's interested, jump on it now, because it may be as long as a year before you get a chance to see it at your local cineplex.
We now return you to The Kung Fu Monkey, already in progress....

I agree that people tend to see the biases that they expect. However, U.S. media sources are more conservative now than they were 25 years ago. Media consolidation has had a big effect on what gets published. I recommend that you have a look at What Liberal Bias? by Eric Alterman.

I've owned a copy of 'The Glass Teat' for almost a decade...most of which I've spent looking for a copy of 'The Other Glass Teat'. :)
(And to save kind-hearted people time--don't tell me how to find a copy right now. I'm going cold turkey on book purchases for six months, for my bank balance's health.)
Mark Wise, please consider the subtext of my post, namely:
I don't CARE whether there's a bias, because I have gotten sick of know-it-alls trying to convince me that there is one. I don't even own a TV anymore.
The two "Glass Teat" books are superb. I've read'em over and over. Now, I haven't gotten rid of my TV (DVD is crack) I did dump cable and all other TV. The nation's televised media is an abomination, especially the news broadcasts (local & national, excluding Olberman.)
"Polls show that both Republicans and Democrats felt better about the Congress just after the 1994 elections," a Clinton Administration official said last year. "They had 'made the monkey jump'—they were able to discipline an institution they didn't like. They could register the fact that they were unhappy. There doesn't seem to be any way to do that with the press, except to stop watching and reading, which more and more people have done."
In some sense media journalism is a closed-loop system, the only feedback that registers is sales/ratings.
The internet, including comment threads on newspapers, and bloggers have provided a new outlet, a new feedback mechanism. It's not clear its enough, but it's something.
I just sent this post to tet @ urbanagora
I'm sure he will appreciate it.
Also, Masters of Science Fiction is on every Friday night in August. Not only is one of Mr. Ellison's stories featured, but also "Jerry Was a Man" by Robert Heinlein.
