... do a terrible job
... 
September 17,2003
|
I think most of the major news media including cable, do a terrible job!! Where are the Bob Woodwards today. Is there anything resembling investigation into things that are really going to affect most americans lives and inform us of something more than a car chase or some illicit sex story. PBS,NPR and the BBC actually report intelligent and meanful news in better depth.

... news organizations
...

I srongly disagree with this statement because I no longer understand the defintion of "news organizations". Is Debra Norville's news magazine show, for example, truly a news organization? News in that content is gossip/entertainment -- sort of like real time Enquirer. They deliver old "news", old stories, which are insignificant. I tend to avoid the "news" on television because it's irrelevant or glamourized.

Do not trust most ot what is reported at all. I usually dig deeper for more information in any item I am interested in and most of the time I usually find out what is what whether I agree or not with the finding which is what good reporting should be.

current events are a continuation of a trend. since before the executive director of 60 minutes boasted of preserving bill clinton's chances in the new hampshire primary by withholding news, there is frequently an agenda.

I read news from all over the world. TV news in the U.S. is very poor in delivering news (with the exception of CSPAN and CSPAN II.

... full of garbage
...
September 17,2003
|
I am 15. I think the news is full of garbage and not real news. I want to turn on my news and hear about things that matter not about baseball cards worth something found in an attic or the classic squirrel on water ski's. I no longer watch news, it just scares me. Which is what i think the reporters are going for.

... long list of lies
...
September 17,2003

We live in an illusionary democracy. The illusion is created by the press that have a vested corporate interest in a particular point of view. The debate of importanat issues of war and economics are narrowing defined my the media. A perfect example of this was the long list of lies by the president that were not investigated are discussed by the press until after the war. (The supposed uranium in Niger, the supposed centrifuge tubes that could not be use for nuclear war, the misrepresentation of defectors such as the brother in law of Saddam Hussein, the forging of photographs of trucks from spy satellites, the nature of deterioration of chemical weapons, the AWOL of the president from the National Guard were all known by the medial before the war and not disucssed. The notion that we are well informed from the mass media is ludicrous.

... high level of bias ...
September 17,2003
|
There is a high level of bias in news organizations. Anti-gun, pro abortion, politically correct. Much of the truth is omitted or out right lied about. I only know this because of several outside news sources independant of main stream media.
The sad fact is, I have a very low level of confidence in them.

... America is
...

This is "AMERICA" that we still live in isn't it? I know all about freedom of speech,of the press, and so on and so on. But, the comments made by Tom Brokaw about journalists whering American flag pins and even,going as far as to say,that the Aamerican flag waving in he corner of the screen,of his station,bothered him because it made it look like he or they (journalists) favored the government.In my opinion that was the most offending comment I've ever heard! Because, by sayng that,it makes me think you don't even know what America is! Correct me if I'm wrong,but,I thought the governent was you and I and every citizen of this great country("WE THE PEOPLE")!! And I thought that is what the American flag stood for! Not the Democrats and the Republicans,as you seem to imply!
