I agree with what I take to be Chris Suellentrop’s conclusion in this piece: that media bias is inevitable and should be openly acknowledged. But his means of making the point is to liken the pro-American tone of the American media’s coverage of the war with the pro-Arab bias of Al Jazeera. This seems to me to smack of moral equivalence. Being “biased” in favor of America really isn’t the same as being biased the other way. Why do we suppose that objectivity entails neutrality?
