In Detroit media black is white, No Go is Go - passions mis-shape the news MEDIA CRIT
By Peter Samuel on December 14, 2011The Windsor Star recently ran a front page story headlined "Washington set to act on bridge". A reader would think the paper had word that the US Government was set to intervene to get "the bridge" built - "The Bridge" being local shorthand for a proposed fourth crossing in the region downriver of the Ambassador Bridge known as the NITC or DRIC, a crossing sponsored by the state and the Canadian feds to provide competition with the existing crossings.
The Windsor Star report is a rendering of an interview with US Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson.
