MEDIA BIAS FIGHT TO THE DEATH: That debate between Brent Bozell and Eric Alterman has continued. Here's Part II, which I didn't have time to post Thursday, and here's Part III.

UPDATE: Here's Eric Alterman's introduction to What Liberal Media as reprinted in The Nation. A quick note: Alterman suggests Howard Kurtz's gig with CNN could be a conflict of interest with the reporting he does for the Washington Post. Fair enough. What, then, are we to make of Alterman's double duty for The Nation and MSNBC. Co-opting the language of the left, one could describe MSNBC as an unholy alliance between GE (NBC's parent company and a big Defense Department contractor) and Microsoft in an attempt to dominate the media through television and the Internet. What the hell is Alterman doing working for them?
