That why you get the same story told 3 different ways, Shouldn't the news be the same from every station?? When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. - Thomas Jefferson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

CNN is the worst and Fox is a close second... often dont check their facts first because they want 'the scoop'. Then later when they are shown to be wrong they offer a half-hearted retraction. Unless its a really big one like the Rolling Stone mess the last few days. Wouldnt surprise me if they are sued for millions for libel. Or of course the whole Bush-Gore Florida fiasco on election night. Or basically accusing on air, for weeks, a man for the Olympic bombing that had nothing to do with it. In that case it was because of 'sources' that they didnt check out to see whether or not they actually had full access to information and not just office rumor. Or just full of shit to begin with. Or the 'journalists' themselves were liars. Yes that has happened in the last few years. CNN, and others, really pushed hard the missing airliner story saying it was hijacked. For days and days 24 hours nonstop. We will never know the truth of that story, and neither did they, but went with it anyways. Why? Ratings. Its not new. In the past it was selling newspapers. But back then they didnt have 24/7/365 news coverage at the click of a button. They also didnt have the room to allow many stupid idiot time to write or talk. Many times more talk than you could ever get in a daily column. If not weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Why else would FOX be the only news outlet that reported on the number of troops being sent BACK to Iraq? Leadfinger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Did you know that the media has a very important role in our government??? Most people had no idea . . . .and that's part of the problem. Everyone blames the Democrats or the Republicans and rightfully so they are the ones causing the problems EQUALLY But here's where the problems get a "turbocharge" . . . . . The news media failure to report honestly and fairly without favoritism to either side. If a Senator is getting a payoff of some kind then the news should call him out on it . . . .name names, who, what, when get it all out there in the open so that the voters know which bums to throw out. But its all a waste of time if the voters are watching"Dancing with the stars or Famous Housewives The two political parties will ALWAYS misbehave that's a slam dunk . . unless there is someone ratting them out. Everyone is looking in the wrong place for the devil ruining our country when all you gotta do is Google News and not for the story's but for the people writing those story's Thanks for the link @Damage_inc- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
