McClatchy Whines: Public Unfair to News Media
2008-09-16 17:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston You… yes, you reading this right now. McClatchy wants you to know you are mean to them, your mistrust of them is merely egged on by a sly political tactic, and you fall for it because you only get your news from an “ideologically tailored” source. In other words, they are ...

Measles Epidemic: Another Result of A Bad News Media
2008-08-23 01:10:00 Imagine that. After hundreds of news articles hyping the danger of the Measles vaccination causing autism, a lot of parents didn’t give their kids shots. Usually they got away with it, thanks to something called “herd immunity”, which means if most people are immune, there are fewer contacts to give it to your own kid. But now there ...

Instead the media and all kinds of lily white news media outlets are just scrambling to get clued in on Obama and his wife’s “fist pound.” Is this what we are going to ...

The State of the News Media 2008
2008-04-24 07:33:00 The state of the American news media in 2008 is more troubled than it was a year ago. And the problems, increasingly, appear to be different than many experts have predicted. Critics have tended to see technology democratizing the media and traditional journalism in decline. Audiences, they say, are fragmenting across new information sources, breaking the grip of media elites. Some...

US News Media?s Latest Disgrace

Military Operatives Working In The News Media To Brainwash You?
2008-04-20 22:50:00 The NY Times has a lengthy, yet informative, article on the psyops perpetrated by the Bush administration. Anti-war folks figured this out a long time ago, but we’ll give the NYTimes kudos for printing history. Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found. The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air. Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves. But collectively, the men on the plane and several dozen other military analysts repre...

Why The News Media Sucks Now...
2008-03-24 23:43:00 I heard this viewpoint on a radio show a while back, and like sometimes happens, it stuck with me. And no, this will not be a rant against the liberal media. This guy was explaining how the kinds of people who used to go into journalism as a career back in the day are not the kinds of people who go into into it now. See, in the old days, think pre-TV, an awful lot of journalists were muckraker types. They had an axe to grind. Maybe they were bullied a lot as kids or whatever, and they wanted to get back at the world. These were people with something to prove, people with chips on their shoulders. Get the point? Anti-social types. And that made for great investigative reporting. And now? It almost makes me laugh. Who goes into the "News Media" now? The term itself suggests the answer. People who want to be on TV. The elitists. These are people who went to Ivy League schools and decided to go into the media so they could be on TV instead of going to law school or ...

Using the News Media to Learn Spanish Better
2008-01-27 06:29:00 For most people, news is a part of life. They listen to the evening news to get the upcoming weather or to find out what is going on in their area that day. They buy newspapers to get a handle on local politics. You can also use the news media to learn Spanish better. One way to get news to learn Spanish better is to subscribe to a Spanish language newspaper. You can get the information on how to do that through your local library. They will have the contact information for the newspapers, so that all you have to do is get in touch with them and place your order. Once you get the paper, you can try reading the articles. You might have problems at first, but continue on. Use a translation dictionary. Whenever possible, find out about the story through other sources as well. See if what you understand as you try to learn Spanish matches what you find out in your own language. Sometimes, the perspective is different, causing a discrepancy between the two stories.

Does The News Media Want to Hump Obama?s Leg?
2008-01-20 08:48:00 It's so important for our chief executive to look good in a bathing suit. That's my top criteria. I was just watching one of the news commentary shows, and some knucklehead just said he thought Obama could realign the Democratic party like Reagan did for the Republicans almost 30 years ago. What? Obama is charming, but he's only been in the Senate for 3 years. And this pundit thinks Obama could be the most influential Democratic leader since FDR? Bill Clinton didn't even do that. He didn't change how people think. He just took them as they were and went from there. It's funny. Last night in Nevada, and last week in New Hampshire, Democratic voters told the country they're a little uncomfortable with Obama's relative inexperience. How else did Hillary win? People don't like her and they don't trust her. Obama is like a rock star. So why didn't they vote for him? Because he's been in the Senate for 3 years. Notice no one on TV puts it like that? They...
