Fish Out of Water (Meet the Spin Doctors) It's interesting how 2 news articles can present the same story so differently. The Seattle Times story and Yahoo! News (NY Times) are both running stories on more than 10,000 chinook salmon have died in the Klamath. The Seattle Times omits the Native American angle and downplays the fact that some (or many) are blaming the deaths on the Bush Administration's environmental policies. In fact, the word "Bush" does not appear in the article. Is this neutrality or right-wing spin control by The Seattle Times? Is it more complete coverage or left-wing politicking by the NY Times? 11:03:08 AM    comment []
