Our Fabricated News. "Anonyous Sources." |
You will note that USA Today has fired yet another so called "journalist"
(read news hack) for writing a series of fabricated news articles.
Think about it. These hacks (I refuse to dignify them with the title of
"journalist)
can quote "Anonyous sources, "officials" "Senior Officials" etc., combined
with their legal ability to "protect their sources" Makes them absolutely
legally bullet proof from any challenge to their garbage.
C-span had a sort progam on this subject this morning, if you can catch it
on the rerun.
Now, weither your right or left, Democrat or Republican, these bums can
fabricate their articles and their TV scripts, pander to your moral and
political positions, with their Alice in Wonderland stories, sell their
papers and TV shows, and never worry about any legal challenge, unless the
slander someone who elects to sue. Even then, his/her "sources" are
protected.
In my opinion this is a total misuse of the "freedom of the press"
envisioned by our forefathers when they wrote the 1st Amendment. In their
day, real journalists, with personal character, honesty, and morality
dominated the media of the time.
If you want the truth, forget the media. c-span is the only source where the
"sources" are live and can speak for themselves. Except, of course, when
they interview news hacks.

And then combine that with ever greater corporate media concentration and you
end up with a giant propoganda machine where the line between journalist and PR
Liaison only continues to blur.

It is interesting the the central bankers bought dollars by the trillions three
days before the options expire. At the same two JP Morgan and Bank One
combined. The treasury announced that the federal budget is higher by 21
billion dollars than it was this time last year. Hey things are going very
well. Soon we will all be employees of the central banks. BTW I forget when
do they run for reelection?

Just an update: Now I am only seeing posts that I assume are for
ab.politics./ can.politics, ont.politics etc are no longer shown. Some of
the posts must have been directed to those forums and no longer visable.

Barney; And remember, these corporations work all sides of the political
spectrum. They are interested in profits, not politics.
It's only very recently we got FoxNews, which drives the leftists
bonkers!(:-)

Even in Canada the "Media" does the same thing. In previous occupations I
dealt directly with them and their "facts" had nothing to do with the
information they obtained.
It's their interpretation of the facts. They wander onto a crime scene,
disrupt investigations and unless they are given the details of what is
still being attempted to accertain, they make their own information up.

C-span had a sort progam on this subject this morning, if you can catch it
on the rerun.
Now, weither your right or left, Democrat or Republican, these bums can
fabricate their articles and their TV scripts, pander to your moral and
political positions, with their Alice in Wonderland stories, sell their
papers and TV shows, and never worry about any legal challenge, unless
the
slander someone who elects to sue. Even then, his/her "sources" are
protected.
In my opinion this is a total misuse of the "freedom of the press"
