[QUOTE="MeanMugginFool, post: 189089, member: 8033"] You know what drives me crazy, is all this talk of biased media. I think people all wrong, it is not the fact that media is biased, it is the fact that in this day and age, media is more deadline oriented than in the past, and especially in this era of 24 hour news stations and internet news, deadlines are shorter and more often than ever before. The majority of the time a reporter has a shorter window to report their story, there by going more often by what the first people they talk to say, and not always getting a quote from the otherside. You are getting more news than ever before, but it is diluted, sometimes misquoted, and often not fully researched and fact-checked. And all this talk of the media being a corporate puppet, I don't believe it. More often than not, networks like NBC and ABC will call out the corporations that own them before anyone else would even broach the story. I will watch the news, but I take what they say at face value and with a grain of salt, and then I get the real story behind it by looking into it myself and getting ALL the facts, not just the ones that they were able to obtain in the few hours they have to assemble the story.
