MEDIA SITES 

BUZZFLASH: You make the case that a revolutionary, right wing movement has set out to transform the United States, and they're
succeeding. So much of the print media and so many television broadcast journalists have become more like stenographers for the
official government spin than probing journalists. What's your take on that?

KRUGMAN: Well, a couple of things. The first is that a good part of the media are essentially part of the machine. If you work for any
Murdoch publication or network, or if you work for the Rev. Moon's empire, you're really not a journalist in the way that we used to
think. You're basically just part of a propaganda machine. And that's a pretty large segment of the media.
