So Now We're Looking at the MEDIA?!?!?!

I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but I think we're already on the same page. NO ONE TRUSTS THE MEDIA. The kings of spin, the sultans of misinformation, versus the apathetic entertainment hungry public, who wins? Let's think real hard on this one, the closest thing to news we get on our local news stations is weather, and the forecasts are wrong half the time, then again, how do you swing the weather, from "it's gonna be damn cold", to "it's going to be a tid-bit nippy?" I just don't see how we as Americans have let the media get so lazy... in the past there was fact checking and investigative reporting... now our correspondents to the white house are spoon fed information and are too lazy to actually ask real questions. Prof. brought up a really good point, journalism is the only constitutionally protected profession, however, the crap that they shove in our faces is pure CRAP.

The media is not fully at fault. people choose to subject themselves to such material. It is up to that individual whether to believe it or not. It sucks that so many people take it seriously
