Report: Only 3% of Mainstream TV News Guests Opposed War 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
A new analysis of mainstream TV news has found there was almost no
debate about whether the United States should go to war in Iraq and
Syria. The group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, found that
of the more than 200 guests who appeared on network shows to discuss the
topic, just six voiced opposition to military action. On the
high-profile Sunday talk shows, out of 89 guests, there was just one
antiwar voice — Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation.
