Valiant I did not say I worked in the media, I had to deal with the media in all forms on issues from race relations to capital crimes as a Police Commander and having relationships with those who worked in it.
And I am also aware that media is led around by manipulators performing dis-information from diffrent groups with diffrent motives.
With that in mind my premise that the liberal editorializing of the news by the major news entities in this country is rampant and blatant still stands. The worst offenders are the NY Times, Washington Post, several of the big western papers, the major news outlets on cable and TV owned by Turner and others like CNN MSNBC NBC CBS and many others too include the PBS news outlets which irrates me to no end.
I would like the news to inform me, let me see all sides of the issue, opinions from all sides of the debate at hand, ask relevant questions and demand answers from all sides equally.
The closest I have seen that in the cable news networks is Fox News. I am not enthralled with everything from them either but when it comes to presenting all sides of the issue and giving equal time to the various positions and opinions I feel they do the best job in the industry hands down. Apparently so do many millions of other viewers for the same reason as they have dwarfed the previous big outlet CNN.
When you watch the returns comes in on the election eve going back and forth between the major news outlets and see the honest reporting on one hand and you see the editorial version on the other channels it is stunning to me. When you observe the talking heads literally in tears when THEIR candidate is apparently losing in the last two presidential elections that is extremely revealing.
Yes my premise stands, so get your news from multiple sources, filter it down to the facts, believehalf of what you read and none of what you hear and try to dicern the truth in it as best you can.
