Once again the media get it wrong

The media can always be counted on for distorting the facts.

(D33 @ Mar. 23 2007,12:57) The media can always be counted on for distorting the facts.

I've seen maybe 10 news stories over the years where I have known what really happened from the start.

From that experience I have come to the conclusion that they don't even bother to distort the facts - they invent them.

and in America it's so clearly defined..... CNN makes up stories that will harm the right, Fox makes up stories that will hurt the left and neither side even pretends to hide their slant; and these are adults we are talking about here.

Living in America is weird, the lack of culture and news companies like this make one want to go.......to Thailand! Or Cambodia to ride some trails! But don't you know; those places are filled with sex tourists and the sexual slavery problem is rampant!!

Its not an American thing though,

The news networks in the UK (BBC, ITN and Murdoch's Sky) are all equally as bad and slanted.

I'm always particularly distrusting of any media that Mr. Murdoch is involved in.   Sky TV, The Times and Sun News papers to name a few.

He has consistently used what he owns to try to manipulate the political scene in both the UK and Australia to suit his own ends.

I regard him as a very dangerous man.

Anderson Cooper is the son of one Vanderbilt family so money and prestige has been part of his upbringing. The about.com websit has him listed as a liberal and describe him in this manner "With his taste for covering disasters and wars, Cooper embodies a new style of advocacy journalism" In other words he is no different than the guys at Fox, in that he tries to creat the news. I hate CNN, and FOX, the US Media sucks. After having lived abroad I have no sympathy for the US, and believe it reaps what it sows.

I believe he uses FOX News in the US that way also.

Aside from that, I guess CNN isn't the only news channel resorting to sensationalism to get ratings.
