The Media Empire Strikes Back: Reviewing Reviews of South of the Border

from Dissident Voice. The author's concluding statement completely misses the function of corporate owned media: 
But the reviews aforementioned do little more than expose the ideological biases that dominate the U.S. media and the laziness that afflicts journalists today.
          These failures of the media are part of the reason why America is ailing."
