Access of Evil - our broadcast and journalist media

t r u t h o u t - Amy Goodman, Voice of America

"So why does the corporate media allow the contours of the debate to be set by the Democrats and the Republicans?

I don't know why. I know that they do it. In the book I wrote with my brother, David Goodman, The Exception to the Rulers, we talk about the "access of evil." Bush talks about the "axis of evil," you know, we talk about the press' "Access of Evil" and that is trading truth for access in order to get the next... lie, in order to get the quote from the player himself, whether it's Rumsfeld, Bush or Cheney. They trade truth for access, and that's unacceptable."
