Founded in 2001 by Cromwell and David Edwards , Media Lens is a media analysis website which monitors the broadcast and the print media in the UK , attempting to show evidence of bias , distortions and omissions on such issues as climate change , Iraq and the " war on terror " . The founders of Media Lens draw on the ' Propaganda Model ' of media control advanced by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky . Journalist Oliver Kamm , leader writer for '' The Times '' , has strongly criticised Media Lens for comments on the Srebrenica massacre and Rwandan Genocide , describing the group as a " reliable conduit for denying genocide and whitewashing war crimes " . In 2006 , Kamm challenged Cromwell 's dependence on American historian Howard Zinn , and both men 's knowledge of source material relevant to America 's atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , asserting that this was " a subject wholly outwith Cromwell 's competence " . David Cromwell wrote a rebuttal of Kamm 's piece on the issue in January 2008 . " Not unusually , one has to go to media such as " RT and Press TV " to find any coverage " , Cromwell wrote in September 2016 ( about the Yemeni civil war ) , which are " so often bitterly denigrated as ' propaganda ' operations by corporate journalists "
