Media & Journalism - September 2006

Strangely there seems to be no way to contact Yahoo! to tell them about the problem... only to report "abuse".

I used to be an avid listener to talk radio, even called in a few times. Now, I hardly ever listen.

I find it became hyped and the subject is getting channel directed toward simple minded people who want something to believe in and jump at any subject believing the host is a God sent genius.

With Blow Hards like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and assorted others of differing persuasions...I believe it's become a Charade catering to those wanting to waive foreing made American flags and eager to get out and fight the bad guys.

Use of the word "we" (i.e. we have to go in there and fight them to the very end... we have to stay the course), yet those sitting at the end of the microphone do no fighting and get paid dearly for blabbering...I believe talk shows are crapola now.

They were once useful, now a waste of time.

That's my opnion, what's yours?

(Ten pointer for the one having the guts to say I'm off the wall, or something).

The upcoming ABC special "Path to 9/11" is said to include a segment that faults President Clinton for weakening the U.S. and missing opportunities to deal with Islamofascists when it was much easier than when President Bush inherited this dangerous situation we are in. The Clintons and supporters have demanded that ABC edit that segment out.

I may not agree with everything that President Bush has done, but the Clintonites certainly criticise President Bush, and applaud the misleading Michael Moore and company from releasing negative attacks on President Bush, but they can't take any criticism about their beloved president? This is absurd and a classic case of double-standards. Outrageous!

I implore each and everyone of you to contact ABC and demand that they not bow to Clintonites demands to edit the ABC special segment. Let freedom reign, let freedom of expressions reign. I thought that only the Democrats are champions of that cause. I guess I was wrong!

Violence is seldom the answer, but when reporters follow people around with their cameras, invading their privacy so badly that they have no personal life, isn't it appropriate for people to do whatever it takes to make them cease and desist?

...read one of those UK freebie papers a couple of days ago, and under a heading, called 'World facts at your fingertips', smiled at the list 'Busiest Airports'. Atlanta had 86 million a year, Chicago had 76 million, with London Heathrow third, with 68m.
One thing which confuses me...when Heathrow is in the media (be it paparazzi stalking the self-important, or people in uniforms - or not - stalking passengers who do not speak English...and/or may be a shade darker) why are we told it is the busiest in the world? Maybe there's something I am missing? Someone enlighten me!

Even Fox News mentioned it. Usually a country needs to be invaded or a billion people need to be killed in an earthquake before Fox News will devote a second of their airtime to a 'world' story.

It's not like he said anything we didn't know already.

There is no media coverage on the global pandemic of AIDS, TB and other diseases.

In 2005 about 3 million people in subSaharan Africa died of AIDS, 500,000 were children. Each year 2,000,000 poor die of TB.

Every year we are reminded of the Holocaust, by some Hollywood film on the them.

Why does the US and Western media ignore this pandemics? If it is racially oriented, then in my mind it is passive genocide.

For some reason its not 'newsworthy'. Do you think there should be more awareness of these pandemics?

This may be a trivial topic to most people but I would like an honest answer. I do not hate Fidel Castro, despite what others think of him. He is a brilliant man despite some poor judgments. We all make mistakes.

Even before the Iraqui War, I thought that Tony Blair was jumping on the band-waggon, of the late Princess Diana's idea that she would like to be a World Ambassador. Now? Tony Blair is not going to give up being Prime Minister of the UK when it has the ethos of being a wolrd name that will go down in history. His body language says everything. What do you think? I am writing about this last four years, not prior to that.

To see the Israel army bomb a Lebanon water plant - 1st day - later on to bomb a UN building, there for 15 years & after repeated requests to Isralie Army from the UN Hut saying how close they were to bombs being dropped, and other bombings of a Lebanon's infrastructure, why are the Jewish surprised? I am English, but innocent British Muslums 2nd & 3rd generation in the UK have suffered ostracism & abuse because of Bush's & Blair's calculated War on Iraq. What makes Jewish people, who are purported to contribute financially, and otherwise, suport the State of Israel think feel they can escape a lashback What do you think?

If the bending of truth, propaganda, is a tool of tyranny (which it is) can America survive the wholesale and blatant manipulation of news by the media corporations ?

On issues such as 9/11, 'weapons of mass destruction', the invasion and occupation of Iraq, Iran, North Korea, the supposed threat of 'Muslim terrorists' etc. we see relentless unfair and blatantly biased 'news' that is little more than propaganda used to force on the free world an unaccountable and unelected government - a permanent state of emergency - ruled by men who are (like the media) unaccountable, though they claim to serve us.

Whatever happened to the independent media ?
