[...] Bush in his 1992 Republican nomination speech declared: "when the Berlin Wall fell, I half expected to see a headline: WALL FALLS, THREE BORDER GUARDS LOSE JOBS.

[...] Who's in control: the politicians or the media? In And that's the way it a reference guide to media bias, B. Bozell states that 'in the political world, appearance easily supplants reality'. Politicians and the industry of mass media both strive to control the way reality is presented to citizens. In this paper "media" will define enterprises involved in reporting, printing, publishing, or broadcasting news.
