Journalism professor exposes war media: U.S. and British media have reinforced President George Bush's perspectives in their coverage of weapons of mass destruction, according to a recent study by a university journalism professor.
Assistant professor Susan Moeller's study - released March 9 - found most journalists accepted Bush's terminology and viewpoints on WMD issues, validating the administration's message.
"Most journalists accepted the Bush administration's formulation of the 'War on Terror' as a campaign against WMD, in contrast to coverage during the Clinton era, when many journalists made careful distinctions between acts of terrorism and the acquisition and use of WMD," the study said.
