The article presents a discussion of how facts can be misleadingly presented in the mass media in ways which reinforce political biases. Examples are drawn from the lead-up to the Iraq War. Information which supported the view that an American invasion was a good idea is said to have been over-represented in the news media, while information that undermined that argument is said to have been given short shrift. Topics such as self-deception, insularity, and ethnic biases are addressed in terms of sociological, cultural and political factors.
