ANDREA MITCHELL LECTURE - Brown U. 3/30/03 HAMMERNEWS Audio Page

MH QUESTION:

I do some media criticism, and I really think that the media has switched

suddenly from telling us the news to telling us what to think. 2 examples of that are Clear Channel,

which has 1200 radio stations, is holding pro-war rallies; … and the other thing is this dangerous

equivalence that criticism of Bush equals criticism of the troops equals disloyalty, which it seems

has been parroted by everybody and is really insidious. I really see a major terrorist attack coming

against America… and I’m terrified what this President would do, and I’m terrified that the media

would help him at this point.

ANSWER: is audible (2:12 minutes more)
