Abstract
From a First Amendment theoretical perspective, the freedoms constitutionally guaranteed the US media are bound to expectations that they will deliver the “widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources” (Associated Press v. United States, 1945, p. 20). Analyses of two 2005 reports on the Iraq War posted on the Internet by two prominent US news organizations, however, show that they are presenting Americans with pro-Bush administration, anti-“insurgent,” pro-war readings of the events reported. In light of these analyses, the “performance” of the US texts in meeting First Amendment obligations is discussed.
