The Media

Let's call it advocacy for  advertising, marketing, propaganda, public relations, and political communication (oh yeah, and entertainment)... but news?  Really now...



Business Week's headline reads, "BP's Cap Is Recovering Gulf Oil, May Get 90% Of Leak" and the New York Times reads, "Cap Is Collecting Oil, but Results of Effort Is Still Unclear".  Guess it depends on the news source doesn't it?  I think public opinion of the news media to qualify the news they report is pretty much that they don't and that the media outlets are pretty much clowns.  There are exceptions to the rule of course.  What do you think?

Once again we listen to our broadcast journalists and the pundits that they give a public platform to and I can't help but wonder why they are such biased, shallow, unknowledgable boobs.  On Meet the Press a senator states a main point about oil consumption supported by his assertion that the U.S. gets 30% of its oil from our own Gulf of Mexico!  The host, David Greggory just sashays along without even flinching at this statement.  Wow!  That is a startling new statistic to me!  But then I'm not a great journalist / host like Greggory is or is it that he is really a news sensationalize hound, a media gossip monger, a journalistic bs'er. 

I'm picking on Greggory here but many of our broadcast news journalists are just as guilty of placating to the hand that feeds them and thereby shoveling down the public’s throat a constant barrage of sensationalizednews, gossip, rumors and outright falsities!

The John King interview of Dick Cheney has been received poorly.  Not just in terms of the interview of an ex-Vice President with little to no credibility but on the interviewer - John King.  Generally Mr. King was well thought of by the TV media audience but this pitiful display of 'journalism' has the public talking about what a light-weight King is.

What has happened to journalism?  It is nothing like what we expect, perhaps in part because of the huge monopolistic, individual ownership of media corporations that has in some part aided in the loss of journalistic integrity.
