It might seem odd to compare and contrast two news stories from last week - the resignation announcement of Attorney General John Ashcroft and the Paris death of Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat. But an examination of the two demonstrates the degree to which the "news" media's compass of objectivity is so terribly misaligned. To read the coverage, you'd think Ashcroft was the tyrant, and Arafat the liberator.

Attorney General John Ashcroft was interviewed by ABC's Charles Gibson, CBS's Bryant Gumbel, CNN's Paula Zahn and NBC's Matt Lauer on each of the networks' morning news programs today. All four pushed the Attorney General from the left; not a single one of those journalists asked whether Ashcroft's Justice Department was doing enough to protect the public from new attacks by yet-undiscovered terrorists.

Since Sunday is a slow news day, Monday's newspaper often carries curious front-page articles, curious because it is so hard to understand their newsworthiness. On May 14, the Washington Post carried one such phony front-page article carrying a shocking news development.

For a quick lesson in the upside-down morality of the national media, consider the January cases of John Ashcroft and Jesse Jackson, two political leaders identified with their religious faith. But Ashcroft's faith has been presented repeatedly as an obstacle to high office, while Jackson's low sexual behavior has been reported with deep sympathy and pleas for him to remain in "public ministry."
