Journalistic Fraud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Journalistic Fraud: How The New York Times Distorts the News and Why It Can No Longer Be Trusted is a book by Bob Kohn with a thesis similar to that of Bernard Goldberg's Bias.
Both books allege a climate of liberal bias in which reporters routinely slant or spike news stories to ensure that the media presents only a liberal point of view.
Journalistic Fraud specifically speaks of The New York Times's news pages, as opposed to its opinion pages or media in general, which are not the concern of the book. Kohn cites copious examples of what he claims to be journalistically poor leading sentences and biased topic choice and placement in the news articles of the paper. He states that the news articles are (or were at the time) biased, and political opinion in newspapers should be confined to the editorials.
