Today's (Tuesday February 7, 2006) tasteless anti-Bush digs at
Coretta Scott King's memorial service by Rev. Joseph Lowery and Jimmy
Carter, a former President (!), are certainly newsworthy, but one
place you didn't here about them was during the 5 pm PST (8 pm EST)
headlines on ABC News
Radio. Instead, the announcers highlighted the fact that several
Atlanta schools had the day off to make the day "educational."
It looks like additional education was delivered today through a
lesson in classic media bias-by-omission.
