Nothin the media EVER says is true. They look for shock value and horror in their stories, cuz that's what catches peoples attentions. If they can't find it, they twist a story to make it what they think will SELL. If Americans would stop being so gullible and stop believing everything they see on tv, THEN the media MIGHT be truthful.

It is hard to be untruthful when you need to show the video footage and have also to save your skin and the channel if someone rubbed the wrong way hauls you to court.
Anyway media has to keep everyone in mind. You can fool all of the people for some of the time or some of the people ---- get my drift?

True journalism is a calling, like being a good teacher or a fireman. It has moral aspects that real writers and reporters adhere to.
The only problem journalim has is business people who reduce it to a saleable commodity.

Nothing; everything they say is slanted, at best a half truth.
