Frontline Yes, Nightline No:

Betsy has a great post linking to a Brent Bozell story about Ted Koppel's media bias. Go read the post in full, but I'm interested in this line from Koppel:

It has been called a secret blueprint for U.S. global domination....A small group of people with a plan to remove Saddam Hussein, long before George W. Bush was elected President....And 9-11 provided the opportunity to set it in motion...Tonight, 'The Plan.' How one group and its blueprint have brought us to the brink of war.

This Nightline episode aired earlier this month. What's so striking -- and funny -- and sad -- is not only how obviously sensational the Nightline story is, but also how FAR behind the curve it is. PBS' Frontline aired the story of Paul Wolfowitz and the other neo-Reaganites in an episode, The War Behind Closed Doors, on February 20th. Not only is the Frontline piece a more balanced account of the story that is Nightline's, it's also infinitely more astute in it's analysis.
