I resent being called such a foul name. I have been in the media, photojournalist published, and a sales manager for a radio station. Currently even this trend of media creating news has been a topic of the media discussions, so it is real and not just an opinion. Also, many of the interviews of ppl conducted are edited to say things the person never meant, or that didn't display the true event. On a campout at a local park, a long walk around a lake, with parked cars nearby, two boy scouts kidded how it would be easier to take a car and drive. The media walking nearby reported: BOY SCOUTS PLAN TO STEAL CAR. I have many cases in point, but that isn't the point that I wish to elaborate. I cannot handle the ticket tape media, as everytime I clicked on something that seemed concerning, it wasn't at all. I do not consider a rape that happened 2 weeks ago as a BREAKING NEWS story when the police finally decide to let the public search for the guy. The same pictures of a natural disaster, rather than current and less shocking, are played over and over.... ok I don't want to do this.

I did mention the PBS and local learning channel feeds. Has anyone viewed the tv news reports from BBC and other sources NOT in USA? <font color="blue"> They usually report the news with even toned facts, not hype us up. This is the way I need information. I have enough stress. </font>

I wasn't a media hyper nor creator. I resent being considered as a basher of all media... because I personally know there are reporters out there who are trying to just give the news.. but our society tends to promote those who are "more creative." imo

I respect those who give the news, fair and square. Unfortunately they are a dying or ignored breed, unless owning their own station, magazine, or paper. If someone is in that profession, they know what their battle is. Sometimes truth hurts.<font color="blue"> Sometimes it compels us to be a catalyst for change.
