Ideologues Pines (a distinguished fellow at the rightwing Media Research Center) and Lamer (deputy director of the Media Research Center's Free Enterprise & Media Institute) bash the media for portraying American businesses as dishonest and greedy when "nearly all American businesses are honest and contribute enormously to the nation's standard and quality of living." The problem, they say, is not free enterprise but the imbalanced and inaccurate television coverage which misrepresents American business and, even worse, suggests a role for government with regard to economic problems.
