Harvard Study finds Big Media flipped on Torture to accommodate waterboarding

Harvard Study: From 1930s-2004,
NY Times called waterboarding torture in 81.5% of articles,
LA Times in 96.3%.

Yet from 2002‐2008,
NYT did so in only 1.4%
and LA Times in 4.8%.
The WSJ? 1.6% (1 of 63 articles)
and USA Today never called waterboarding torture or implied it was torture.
