since when did conjuncture, opinion, and half-truths become news? Did the US get dumber since I left? You REALLY believe that "fox news", reports news?....they are a political spin-machine, serving the interests of the right-wing conservatives.

yes...before I get slammed, the left-wingers have their own spin-machines...

my point is there is no objective journalism in the US anymore, you want to be informed you've got to be more than a ditto-head...

huh


To say that none of the news stations ever report news is completely...well idiotic. Yes, many reporters put their spin in it or opinions, though not all, but still the overwhelming majority of the stuff reported is straight news.

The only straight news anyone reports is the weather, and even that is wrong three-fourths of the time.

So, when they say that I-95 at a section is closed due to an accident they are spinning and lying?

When they just reported 5 women have been shot and killed in a Chicago Department Store are they using bias and spinning the story?

News Alert comes on and shows a police chase in LA, is that biased and opinionated spin and not really happening but a setup by the media to put on a fear campagin?

What about video of a fire in a housing complex? That's not news?

The majority of the news is all this and stuff just like it over and over again. This stuff is straight news and always reported as such, and it is the majority of it.

That's local news. Cable stations like Fox News will only report that if they have nothing else to say. And the majority of cable news is world "news" in which they do put conservative or liberal spin on.

Actually, it would be like Gaia Apples and Granny Smith Apples. They are both of the same, but just a different taste. Different news is reported on the channels, but they are of different qualities/objectives and so on.

No, they are definitely NOT the same. Political news, world news, and local news are completely different things…

Chaos? there may be a chance that this is related to what bush sr. stated several times in his speeches about entering a time inwhich there's a very real prospect for a new world order. i think that the dollar bill has that slogan printed in a foreign latin language under that adorable pyramid. i think i heard that it might be describing a plan by the elite of the world to create chaos through money-pulation so that we might willingly accept
a one world dictatorship with them watching over us all..like loving parents..just a chance tho

Fox News has always blown a number out of proportion, such as 9/11 when they said 13,000 killed. MSNBC was the closest with 3,500 and Headline News had it at 4,000-4,500. Fox News is a fear monger, now don't take that comment out of context to say all news stations are. I happen to watch MSNBC a lot and CNN likewise, but I mostly watch independant news because they provide facts or at least the closest possible figure. If you really want to understand the basics of what the news says I suggest you take up some independant studies of analyzing speech and tones, or even a simple psyhcology course. This doesn't mean FOR A FACT, but it is pretty close when you understand how elements of the human mind work.

VOILEZAUR......

What are you talking about? Your post to me doesn't make sense. Did you mix me up with someone else?

First, I am neither interested in conspiracy theories nor do I have a fascination about them, which is why I know little in relation to those subjects. You are the one who is fascinated with the subject. Your posts go on and on with so much detail.

Second, I do not have any political ambitions. Where did I state that in my posts?

Third, Where did you get the idea that I am for a "One World Order"? I do not believe in it since it will take away America's sovereignity.

Fourth, I am for a free country and for a free Western World. Why would you mention that? Are you against it?

Fifth, Your statement that I have a "slick way of speewing gratuitous and unfounded insults" applies to you. Your posts reek of it.

P.S. I just checked your profile, because you look familiar. You were on another dating site and kept e-mailing me even though I told you I was not interested in you. You wouldn't stop with the e-mails. So I was forced to block you. For God's sake, grow up! Find someone else to annoy!
