The WFEA Morning Update

Drew Cline: A Misguided Press, Manchester Tax Cap, Historian Gordon Wood

Drew Cline, Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, hops on WFEA’s The Morning Update and starts a robust discussion on the state of the American corporate media.

Both host Jeff Chidester and Drew have written for substantial news organizations in the past, and have noticed a shared trend. Center-to-conservative-leaning journalists are often held to a different standard than more left-leaning writers.

Both Jeff and Drew talk about having to cite and prove each controversial point, while progressive writers were often allowed to state opinion as fact without a strict validation process.

Jeff and Drew also discussed the recent override of the City of Manchester’s tax cap and the recent passing of noted historian Gordon Wood.
