So how does everyone feel about the way news is covered and dealt with?

Question

I'm doing a project for school, and would like to know how you think the media portrays things like the polygamist cult situation, and the dixie chicks voicing their opinions? please provide other examples as well!

Answer 1

They want bad things, wierd things, mud slinging things and everything evil.......that sells papers.

Answer 2

They do not report the news, they report their opinion, to tell people what they think is wrong, not let people decide for themself.

Look at the president race, Obama is report as good while Hillary is report as bad.

Answer 3

I agree with bbj1776, the media is controlled by a handful of companies that promote their agenda. The purpose of the media should be to produce objective facts for the viewer / reader to derive their own opinion. It is my belief that this is the direct cause of the rise of blogging and citizen journalism, with such sites as The Citizens Journal ( http://www.thecitizensjournal.com ). People are looking for an alternative source of uncensored information.
