Article accuses editors of not allowing all media writers speak their minds
Have a look at this article by Richard Goldstein, which features on the Village Voice website. Goldstein writes "I know many journalists who would like to comment on the deep structure of their profession and its suck-up to advertisers, not to mention the dominant social order. But their editors won't let them." He believes that liberal publications currently work to prove their objectivity whilst right-wing venues have the freedom to spin "which makes them a lot livelier. For that matter, there are hardly any hardcore progs on the nation's op-ed pages." "You'd think it would be different for press critics, but it isn't. Editors who force them to stick to just the facts are doing what editors always have in conservative times: keeping faith with power."
