Kerry: Something Wrong With Media

Still smarting from his election defeat last year, Sen. John Kerry blasted the mainstream media during a panel discussion at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library earlier this week, saying they had contributed to an atmosphere of fear and lies.

"There is something wrong with who is arbitrating the truth," he said, according to Boston's Daily Free Press. "When fear is dominating the discussion, we have a problem."

  Kerry said news conglomerates - particularly of broadcast news - were a large part of the problem.

"The corporatization of the media has taken away some of the muckraking," he complained.

Kerry also criticized President Bush, saying his tax cut program had created a "middle-class squeeze."
