OK - I have had enough, the media is insane

[liberal N proud]

They are no longer reporting the tragic event, they are in a feeding frenzy.

It like they are high on this stuff.

1. Remember 911?

National media is not thinking how this might be affecting the rest of the county.

2. that's how it goes. Remember Katrina, OJ trial?

[uppityperson]

3. (most of them) exist for 1 reason and that is to sell air time. Actually telling news in a non

manipulative way is beyond them.

4. I'm finding CBS the least hyperbolic

Matthews was over the top on MSNBC. I couldn't watch.

5. "If it bleeds, it leads" Urban dictionary:

"basically means that the media loves violence. television, radio, and film will for the most part have much higher ratings if it's about a bunch of people getting murdered rather than something nice, like somebody saving a cat from a tree. ultimately, it's a statement about america's fascination with violence.

Johnny: you watch the news today? it was awesome, 500 people got their heads chopped off!

6. Over the years CBS seemed more sensable then came the 24 hour news cycle

[Cleita]

7. Stream Al Jazeera. They are giving the most unbiased

reporting probably because they are looking at it as outsiders.

10. thanks..watching now..much better..nt

[reformist2]

8. Every "profession" is kind of psycho, when you get right down to it.

It's the price of specialization. I don't blame them for what they do. In a way, we are all forced into a routine one way or another.

[Egalitarian Thug]

9. They are reflecting us, and you're right, we are insane.

Completely and irredeemably.

Sick and perverted, isolated in our own individual fantasy worlds. Worst of all, that's how we want it.
