could you all name 3 things you dislike about today's media?

Question

I can think of two: commentary "news" and political bias....

Answer 1

Failure to challenge partisan guests and commentators when they lie or misrepresent

Too much entertainment news

Too many hours on the air which leads to poor quality as well as too much repetition

Answer 2

I really fail to watch, or concern myself at all with, the media or what the media has to say. I understand that the media is controlled (by ownership of the major media corporations) by the same people who own the Federal Reserve and that they have a political agenda they are attempting to cram down our throats. I don't so much have a problem with the media being biased as I do have a problem understanding how Americans can be either so ignorant or so complacent about "our airwaves" being used to perpetuate Satanic liberalism.

It would be nice if the mainstream media was objectively journalistic and presented all sides equally. Did you know more Americans have died in automobile crashes than all the wars America has ever been involved in?

Wonder why the media has a bent to talk about a few thousand Americans lives in Iraq and Afghanistan while failing to discuss the 40,000,000 Americans who lost their lives due to Satanic baby murderers?

The fact is that liberalism requires you to watch the media so that there will be enough votes for Satan so they can win elections. Without the media on Satan's side he wouldn't stand a chance. The only way liberals can win is to play unfairly.

Answer 3

Bias will always exist, so I am not going to be so foolish as to propose it could be eliminated, Minimizing it is your best bet.

I don't like the way news gravitates towards sensational news that sells, especially violence and bad news.

It's too repetitive, the same news gets broadcast every hour on every station. Does nothing else happen in the world?

It's not intelligent, it's simple dumbed down information for the masses to easily absorb. No real analysis of any problems if it can't be explained with a nice graphic in 5 sentences.

Answer 4

1) There is too much media; it's a hungry beast that needs to feed. If you wonder why a news story is beaten to death, like Anna Nicole Smith BUT when another story emerges, the old one is immediately dead. The media will create news when there isn't any and the corruption of the news media will dictate their targets.
2) Activist journalism with no commitment to objectivity. As Peter Jennings said when asked about committing to objective journalism, "we will decide what is right and wrong to report in newscasting".
3) The partnership with socialism and socialist causes.

You could make an argument that the liberal media decides for blacks, who their leaders are or aren't. The media has decided Jackson and Sharpton are the only representatives of black people; black people haven't chosen them, the media has.

Answer 5

1. Not very objective, there are biases on both sides (liberal and conservative)
2. It's more entertaining than informative (how is the death of Anna Nichole news worthy, or how many days Paris spends in jail, or was Lindsey drunk? They call this crap news?)
3. They only seem to care about Washington, L.A., or NYC (like they are the only cities in the country) unless there's some kind of catastrophe (which is news worthy).
4. They run the same stories over and over and over and over and over well you get the idea.

Answer 6

I hate how the TV news channels have theme songs for news events.

I hate how they back whatever candidate has the most money to spend on political commercials (and no I DON"T see a liberal bias in this!)

I hate drug commercials that try to make you think you are sick or there is something wrong with you if you aren't sexually active at age 70 or are balding and I especially hate commercials that target young kids.

Answer 7

Their bias and it is sure there.
Their untruthfulness.
Their lack of reporting important things that do not meet their agenda.
Their use of people like Stephanopolis as impartial reporters
That is four and I could list several more.

I do not listen to the nightly news or GMA because of their bias

Answer 8

1) "If it bleeds, it leads." The media focuses on the worst things in our country, even if they have to go halfway across the USA to report about a teenager being abducted, giving us the false impression that the world is more dangerous than it is.
2) Celebrities! We did NOT need to spend this much time on Anna Nicole Smith, Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, etc.
3) Accepting news reports without double-checking them. Once the "Swift Boat Veteran" stories were better researched, they were wholly disproved--but by then, they'd done the damage they'd meant to.

As Mark Twain once wrote, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

Answer 9

1. Bias (racial, political, sexual)
2. Too much attention focused on celebrities, instead of more important issues.
3. Watered down news stories.

Answer 10

1.Not enough in depth coverage of topic, they leave you hanging too many times, they voice their opinion and expect you to just accept it as news.
2.The reporting of a biased story, only telling you one side of the story. There are always two sides to a story.
3.They only report on what you think we want to hear, when in reality most interesting news is read on the bottom of the scrolling ticker that they never speak about or report on.

Answer 11

the commentary from a reporters
the digs at political figures
the dissemination of uninformed truths.
