Yahoo! News - Study: Media Self-Censored Some Iraq Coverage
Already my right wing friends (that includes you, Howie--first and foremost) are asking if the media were asked to "squash" positive stories about the war. You know, that "liberal media" and the "vast left-wing conspiracy" that's engulfed our nation...
Well, no, Howie. The media were by and large self-censoring around negative stories, and tended to emphasize the "good news" (such as it is) about the war. You can see an executive summary of the study here, and the entire study here.
