MoveOn.org, The New York Post and Media's Double Standard

By Timothy Karr
MediaChannel.org

As MoveOn.org endures a media lynching in response to
two ad contest entries that featured comparisons of
President Bush to Adolph Hitler, there is as yet little
outcry against a New York Post column by Ralph Peters
comparing Howard Dean supporters to Hitler's
Brownshirts and Dean himself to Nazi propagandist
Joseph Goebbels.

NEW YORK, January 8, 2003 -- Witness a media
double-standard in action:

Compare mainstream media responses to a January 5
Ralph Peters' New York Post column -- likening Howard
Dean to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels and
Dean followers to Nazi Brownshirts and the Gestapo --
against the responses to MoveOn.org "Bush in 30
Seconds" ad campaign, which featured two submissions
that likened President Bush to Adolph Hitler.

While there continues to be widespread and negative
media attention -- orchestrated in large part by the
Republican National Committee and Anti-Defamation
League -- in response to the two 30-second segments
on MoveOn, there as yet exists no response to, or
coverage of, The New York Post's decision to publish
Peters' hate-filled invective.

In case you've missed it, here's a sample:

"Howard Dean and his Deanie-weenies do all they can to
restrict the free speech of others. I can predict with
certainty that Dean's Internet Gestapo will pounce on
this column, twisting the facts and vilifying the writer,
just as they do when anyone challenges Howard the
Coward."

Continues.......
