Fox news, CNN, MSNBC have become tabloid TV

They have become my AM radio. something i never listen to anymore. maybe the united states FCC should redefine news. When there is real news i will not switch on theses channels, even if they say late breaking news, it is seldom real news. i am so thankful for the Internets, and PBS, they are the only media i use.

Peace would be nice. help us out with that will you Monkeyman?

is to find terms to look up here.. or to google them.

But there are better places to get that info...

ABC has a cable channel and it is not all bad...

are you just waking up from the illusion, the mass hypnosis?

have become obvious finally to most of the masses.

I mean, new pearl harbor and all, you can't really blame those who were sold, anthrax flying around and all, mushroom clouds over American cities - I thought we'd really lost a big portion of the population for good - fear works, just never seen it first hand, politically, and with brute force. I didn't think we'd get a lot of people back. To thinking. It was scary for a while. "Name your leader and your god, citizen, and show me your papers." It seemed like that for a while and I think it is still the goal, and only the waking public is stopping the forward march. Thank something.


I'm so happy the country isn't a war-loving gang of thugs after all.

THEY STILL CHASE AFTER FOX AUDIENCE!

Are Imbiciles or Children without any "life experience" running ALL OUR MEDIA these days?

:crazy:

The repeat most of them every ten minutes or so but I came across a news spot where the public sends in news items. What in the crap is going on with that. They have videos of stupid stuff. Now I live in Minnesota so you know I am not knocking this state. But they had a clip some body sent in about potato capital in Minnesota and the potato fights etc. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

In the Red River Valley? Getting the small town stories from Fargo or Grand Forks? Tune into the Twin Cities news and you will not find that, but KMSP Fox 9 has an hour and half news of nothing night after night after night....

Here are some excerpts from his speech to the Radio and Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) convention in 1958:

“During the daily peak viewing periods, television in the main insulates us from the realities of the world in which we live. If this state of affairs continues, we may alter an advertising slogan to read: LOOK NOW, PAY LATER”.

“For surely we shall pay for using this most powerful instrument of communication to insulate the citizenry from the hard and demanding realities which must be faced if we are to survive. I mean the word survive literally”.

“If radio news is to be regarded as a commodity, only acceptable when saleable, then I don't care what you call it— I say it isn't news”

“One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles. The top management of the networks with a few notable exceptions, has been trained in advertising, research, sales or show business. But by the nature of the coporate structure, they also make the final and crucial decisions having to do with news and public affairs. Frequently they have neither the time nor the competence to do this”.

The last one is particularly appropriate today. Here is a link to the entire speech if you are interested:
