Difference between Mainstream Media and Scholarly Media

It is astounding the differences that you can find in opinion regarding this bailout. Often those differences are shown in the news sources and the target audience thereof.

Here are examples A and B:

The American Institute of Economic research gives a reasoned and balanced assessment of bailing out big auto and why we shouldn’t. Read it at: Bailing Out Big Auto is a Bad Idea.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune is pleading that we should bail out the auto industry. Here is their plea bargin here: Carmakers Should Get Their Share of Bailout.
Amazing the difference in ideas propelled by institutions with different audiences.
