... It is embarassing

The media is soft on issues especially with the Bush Administration. It looks like the majority of the media in the Networks are to the right wing. While Blair was being blasted by the Brits over the Iraq issues, Americans particularly are soft on Bush or "Shrubs" misteps on Iraq. Not only on foreign policies, but environmental issues. I hate to be cynical. The Shrub "Bush" is going to bring the US down. The Shrub is exploiting the 9/11 terror aftermath. it's time for Americans should wake up and bring him down in the 2004 election. We don't need a "fictitious" president to run the country. It is embarassing to the world that he cannot pronounce properly the English language. Is this the kind the representation we want to let the world see? A person with no substance? Shallow at best. We are presently the laughing stock of the world. Case in point: 60 minutes featured the increase number of people on food lines. It is like Depression all over again as Yogi
Berra would say.

... little coverage
...

I think a new phrase should be coined for media outlets that act primarily on ideology. Calling that cable news channel that isn't CNN and isn't MSNBC a "news channel" just doesn't make sense to me. Talk about your false advertising!
Furthermore, I have issues with big media and it's effect on what we see. The recent FCC go-round, one of the biggest news stories of the day, got poor coverage from the broadcast outlets, for obvious and self-serving reasons.
The story that prompted the Minot, N.D. segment of last night's Flashpoint,USA episode got relatively little coverage beyond the local area, and you gotta believe that it's because it wasn't in the interest of Big Media to point out the flaws created when one entity scoops up all the broadcast outlets.

... I strongly disagree

I've felt at different times the media's stake in ratings has led them to sensationalize a story to hook the audience and lead them where they want them to go. Case in point, the Laci Petterson case. The media made him out to be guilty before he was even arrested. But now w/ the latest evidence out that shows it could possibly be someone else, it seemed like that that information was just a footnote in a broadcast I saw a couple of days ago. So I strongly disagree until I do a little research myself to see how things are unfolding on stories I want to know the truth about.

... good can come from this
...

How refreshing! For whatever reason, responders are condemning the current state of the news, calling for substance over hype, for facts over feelings, for integrity over bias. (Would that reporters would replace "How did you feel?" with "What did you think or do?")
News customers are learning to tell the difference, which means they are arming themselves with information with which to judge.
The age of opinion and prediction masquerading as news is almost over. Nothing but good can come from this.

... I fully trust media ...
September 17,2003

I fully trust media to inform me of what is happening in the world around me. I can't be everywhere at once and know what is happening, so I have to rely on someone to tell me the truth. The media has not let me down yet, thus, I will continue to regard and appreciate it.

News organizations are still trustworthy for the most part. The entire establishment is being discredited by the actions of a few yellow journalists.

News organizations, like most other organizations, are driven primarily by money. Despite this, news media retain their credibility because the public is willing to give its money and its attention in return for the truth.

... reporters contradict each other ...

Many reports have become distrustworthy. They only want to make their readers believe everything they are saying. It is also bad to have two reporters contradict each other. Then readers really do not know who to believe.
