Over the past few months I was impressed by the fairness and depth of coverage by the Harvard Crimson. The reporting was clear, comprehensive and balanced. I have a nexus to Harvard, not as strong as it had been to MIT, and have the habit of reading The Crimson each day. Unlike Harvard however, MIT has no such Institute wide news reporting. The MIT News is a propaganda sheet which has become the classic example of what to think not how to think.
I think that the MIT students should/must take the example of Harvard and create a newspaper, website if you will, that is a balanced and truthful non-propaganda sheet for the MIT community. Otherwise the propaganda rag of MIT News will form MIT for the years to come.
