Sometimes the Media deserve the blame.

Sometimes the Media are just doing their job.

The
influence of the mass media on public policy, culture and society can
not be underestimated. Blame The Media? takes a sober, penetrating look
at media behavior and how the judgment of a few influence the
perceptions of many.
The
program forsakes hype, flash and glitz for direct, unfettered dialogue.
Always respectful of and courteous to its guests, Blame The Media?
posits questions which reflect comprehensive topical research and an
intense desire to understand media decision making.
