Not Enough Press Coverage of Dean and Durbin, writes Brent Bozell
Brent Bozell is the founder of the conservative group Media Research Center, which monitors press coverage.

Brent Bozell's June 7 column for MRC claims there was too little coverage of controversial statements by Howard Dean.

For example, Bozell cites Howard Dean's statement that Tom DeLay "may end up in jail."

In today's colmn, June 22, Bozell claims there is too little coverage of Senator Durbin's controversial statement about Guantanamo on June 14.

Durbin read a report by an FBI official to the Senate which included, " I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. "

Durbin said that "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

If this isn't first place you've read about these statements, then you may share my skepticism with the notion that there has been too little coverage.

3. Rather shameless how Bozell will claim stories
heavily covered, thanks to the Rightwing Noise Machine, were undercovered.
