Election 2004: Did the Media Fail? by Terence Smith

Cathy Young notes with concern the increasing relevance of the internet in politics. When people turn to the web, they “stay in an ideologically congenial niche,” avoiding anything that challenges their sensibilities. In 2004, Young saw the “media returning to an older model of partisanship,” where newspapers staked out positions overtly to the left or right. She also worries about “unconscious assumptions of the media,” which are reflected in coverage of such issues as abortion rights. She remarks as well on the unfortunate simplicity of red and blue labeling, and the “tendency to put people into ideological boxes.”
