Media & Journalism - August 2007

My teacher gave me an article about straight, white men being portrayed as idiots that can't do anything without a woman's help in ads, and told me to write a position paper on it.

I'm not sure if i want to say it's harmless humour (because straight, white men have never been discriminated against) and it should be allowed (because heterosexual white men are the only group we're still allowed to laugh about because of how politically correct we are, and without those ads, there wouldn't be good ads anymore and people wouldn't pay attention to them)
Or that it's sexual stereotyping and shouldn't be allowed (because some men get emotional about it and send in complaints to advertising companies)

This news item is full of lies. Coulter wasn't flustered at all. Chris Matthews basically let Edwards go on and on, and then gave Coulter a couple of seconds to respond, and she said, 'So, you want me to shut up and stop speaking, to silence my constitutional rights to free speech? No.'

It is transparent attempt for once pretending to be centrist Edwards, his campaign failing, to raise dollars and appeal to far left primary voters. But the media shouldn't be complicit in his efforts.

The headline should have been, 'Campaign Running Low on Cash, Edwards Lashes Out at Coulter'

(which is what it would have been if the party identities were reversed)

What is this mans appeal to the repubs? He is a Blk man that makes foolish statements that even the repubs should be ashamed of on National T.V.; He stated the following:

1. White people are affraid of Black people b/c they are dangerous.

2. Islam is an evil Religion

3. The Katrina disaster happened because black people were ignorant, lazy and have no character.

4. Atheist and Liberals are going to bring God's judgement on America.

This man is a regular on The Sean Hannity Show. He comes off as if he is a prop for the Repub and conserv's. I used to DETEST this man, but know I am starting to feel like maybe he is a Black Slightly mentally challenged preacher that is being taken advantage of by whites who probably laugh behind his back.

To me this man is like a walking FREAK SHOW, it is sad. I just wanted to know your thoughts?

This article is an interview the the aunt of a boy who was killed August 16 2007 in Minneapolis MN when the family pit bull attacked him

http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_2...

This is the initial article about the dog attack The dog was not abused, starved, electrocuted, or tortured in anyway so don't try to tell me that the dogs Vick owned were vicious because they were mistreated

http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_2...


This article proves that Vick was aware the bloodthirstiness of pitbulls and he knew that he and Bad Newz Kennelz had to kill them before they killed children. This is a big conspiracy. Vick had to kill them illegally because the corrupt American Kennel Club would not approve of helping to extinct the killer species.
Everybody needs to apologize to the poor guys at bad newz kennelz who are being wrongfully prosecuted THANK YOU BAD NEWZ KENNELZ

Try to tell me that you value the well being of these killer dogs more than that of a human

My wife and I are currently working hard on a book that is more of an investigative reporting than anything else.
Five black people in east Knoxville raped and murdered two privledged white kids from west Knoxville back in January 2007.

Since then there have been so many rumors, protests, horrible reporting, lack of national media-attention, public anger, sadness & speculation that the entire subject warrents setting the record straight from beginning to end.

Our plans are to take the reader on a step by step account of EVERYTHING - including interviews with the suspects, interviews with the suspects family, friends and employers, interviews with the victim's family members, friends, employers, etc...

My question is
(Since this happened 8 months ago) does anyone give a damn? Would anyone buy the book? With so much garbage happening in the world today, would anyone take the time to dig into this story with us?

Remember the Columbine High School massacre? Well I read a lot about on the web. and I still don't understand how people can kill other humans and not even care.
Give me your prospective on how you see the massacre!!
And listen to the song "Cassie" by Flyleaf!! It so sad the story behind it all.
The story is that Harris slapped the desk twice and bent down and said "peek-a-boo" to Cassie Bernall and just shot her!! I'm going ask everyone who reads this to give a moment of silence to the TEENS who were killed.
Thank You...
Don't for get to comment!

The bias towards bad news is overwhelming - almost depressing. I say that for death we should see a happy pair of mating pandas. For every armed robbery I want to see some OAP marry an 18 year old leggy blond. For every crass and stupid law passed in Parliament, I want to see some school kids making an idiot out of their headmaster for charity. It's all about balance. Well, isn't it?
