Media & Journalism - February 2007

Did you know that there was a military coup in Fiji two months ago? No? But I'll bet you knew that Britney Spears shaved her head! Why are they filling our eyes and ears with such insignificant drivel, when other things are happening? It seems that every news reporting agency has taken to reporting all their stories straight off the AP or Reuters wire, without even embellishing them with original research. Do you believe its a diversionary tactic, or just ineptitude on the part of journalists? What impact could this have on the survival of Democracy in the U.S. and abroad?

Every time I log on to Yahoo!, I see the two percentages that read "Dow" and "Nasdaq". I'm not an "economy" kind of person, and I have never gotten this. Could someone please explain to me what these terms are, and why there was such a sudden drop on it today? Why is it a "dark day for the dow"?????

In Kenneth Eng's column for AsianWeek, a paper that bills itself as "The Voice of Asian Americans," the self-described "Asian supremacist" goes through his list of "reasons" why he believes discrimination against African Americans is OK.

Would you think millions Americans are exhausted with the all the media coverage on Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith outcome? What happen to our soldiers in Iraq and lower taxes that is affect more Americans? Have we forgotten we are at war, and that millions of families are drawn out to listen to garbage from the media on which it has no purpose but drama? What you think! I feel bad for our well known people “Britney Spears” and all actor and actress who needs counseling, but! Again what is that going to do for us? And for “Anna Nichole Smith” death is a tragedy, but I feel this is personal that should be only kept among the family not the media. Do you believe the media is doing this to draw away attention from our people in war or not?

Hundreds of studies have confirmed that exposing our children to a steady diet of violence in the media makes our children more violence prone. Do you agree or diagree? and if so why?

The average person can't do anything about global warming. The people that can don't. So why is the alarm being sounded over global warming?
