Abstract
Discourse analysis comparing US newspapers' news-coverage of Polish and South Korean labor disputes demonstrates some of its ideological aspects. Like Herman and Chomsky's (1988) analyses of other US foreign correspondence, it shows the `us-them' dichotomy and anti-communist filter in operation. The comparison also reveals the pro-management/anti-labor framework that operates in the South Korean case. The authors argue that this framework is the root of the anti-communist filter.
