CORI DAUBER looks at coverage of the Democratic strategy memo on intelligence and sees some spinning going on, observing:
The memo is mentioned, and quoted, but what seems to me to be the absolute guts of the memo — that an independent commission will be timed for political advantage — is never mentioned, just does not appear in the article, a startling omission.
Dauber, a Professor of Communication Studies and Peace, War, and Defense at the University of North Carolina, has a lot of interesting observations on the way this scandal is being covered, spun, or ignored.
UPDATE: There’s more on how this is being treated here.
