In the article Jimmy Carter Takes A Stand Against Glenn Beck and Fox News, President Carter is given “free media” and possibly “earned media” on CNN. President Carter took aim at Glenn Beck, Fox news, and MSNBC news, saying they “deliberately distorted” the news. When asked about his recent book and the criticism of the media in it, President Carter said how he believes the three news stations (Fox, MSNBC, and CNN) are all biased. He claims Fox is heavily biased towards the right, CNN is biased in the middle playing both sides but also being the most fair, and MSNBC biased towards the left and liberals. I tend to agree with President Carter’s assessment of the big three news stations and where their biases lie. President Carter’s main point in the interview was that these media stations have stopped reporting the news as what has actually happened, and have started reporting credit or blame for what has happened. It is hard to explain but he basically says both sides of the political spectrum in terms of news outlets, have distorted the news and facts to reinforce their partisan biases, whether they are on the right or left. It was an interesting article and President Carter had several good viewpoints.
