What has happened to the network news networks
Are their no great investigative reporters any more, least not on the network news?
It seems the criteria for network news reporters is to look good and be able to read a teleprompter.
The people writing the scripts for these teleprompters are propagandist at the least. They show snippets of viral videos ( not even there own ) and edit them in such a way as to fool there audiences to believing an issue or starting a sensation. They invite guests to argue about issues and let them use buzz words and catch phrases without stopping them and asking for real answers to serious questions. It is not that they don’t sometimes get caught. But it seems when they get caught it is by a comic relief news programs like the Daily Show. What has become of news programing that I have to count on a comedian to tell me the truth about what is going on in the world.
When I talk to the average person on the street who has to work and take care of a family and maintain a home etc., they only get information about current issues and events from what they see on the 30 min or so of news they watch on TV. Now depending on what channel they choose to watch, they can hear different sides of the issue, presented in a favorable tone. So if you are on the Right you might be partial to watch FOX. If you are on the Left you might watch CNN. While MSNBC tries to cover both, but still picks a side it seems, depending on the issue.
If a listener does not like what they hear, then they can change the station and listen to the other side in a light that makes the issue being presented to them fit their point of view. So the viewer is allowed to pick the answer he or she wants to hear, not necessarily the truth.
This is not news. This is propaganda… Deceit is a good word. Truly there are always three sides to an issue. They are, what one side believes, what the other believes, and the truth. This third side is what the news is supposed to represent, the truth.
If the news is creating sensations or even deceiving the public to up ratings, they should be disciplined and fined. Yet their really is no watch dog for the news agencies, or if there is, what are they doing?
Frankly, people have gotten used to the way this is done. The sad thing is they often indulge themselves in the lies, after watching these channels, and basing their opinions and decisions on them.
It’s political season again and this where the crap really starts to fly. Well, we’ll chat more on this subject as you see it is an issue with me. Any comments please make them.
