We had an interesting conversation with Warner Todd Huston of Newsbusters.org. Newsbusters.org is a well known media bias watch dog site that focuses on liberal media bias. The site is part of the Media Research Center. Newsbusters.org is an outgrowth of other long standing media projects. Warner has been blogging for newsbuster.org for some time and has a great deal of insight on how the media has evolved in the US since the inception of the Republic. We talk about the early days of the pamphleteers to the modern concept of 'objective jounalis' which gained popularity only after World War II. Warner notes that we may now be going back to an era where the media is more in its natural state. We also discuss the declining quality of journalism...and, of course, we discuss how the media is covering the presidential campaign.
