A Conversation With David Barsamian
Journalist, author, and lecturer David Barsamian is perhaps best known as the founder and director of Alternative Radio. <http://www.alternativeradio.org>

Here is is being interviewed by Omar Khan via Iraqi Dispatches.

Omar Khan: You've said of the media that "most of the censorship occurs by omission, not commission." Can you illustrate this in the case of US news coverage of Iraq?

Barsamian: <snip> "The reporting on Iraq has been so atrocious: people talk about how the bar has been lowered in journalism. I don't think it has been lowered. I think it has disappeared. It's not visible anymore. The servility and sycophancy of journalism has reached appalling levels, and the catastrophe that's unfolding in Iraq is a direct result of this."
