Moment Of Zen On US Media (Fox News/MSNBC/CNN)
Watch the first 50 seconds of the following video and you will notice that one particular person (Ron Paul) is ignored even though he came within 200 votes of winning the straw poll...
Types Of News Available In US TV Media (MSNBC/CNN/Fox)
Type 1 - Easily Distracted
Easily distracted like the dog in UP.
The media really does act like the dog in UP!
Squirrel!
Type 2 - Manufacturing Conflict to Attract & Keep Viewers
Because of a 24 hr news cycle one of the problems is that conflict MUST be manufactured to keep viewers.
Media manufactured 'race card' scandal creation. (They can also go the other way and make a racial case seem non-racial)
An Example of "Manufactured News": The Chris Christie said no but the media was bored so created his candidacy.
Chris Christie's media manufactured candidacy had gone on for a while.
New levels of media inappropriateness...
Cable news networks seem to think their viewers need a hot, thumping beat to absorb basic information. (04:21):
US Mainstream TV Media Summarized
All the news is scripted and the anchors are often required JUST to read what they are told to.
A situation where the script catches a script reader by surprise.
Moment of Zen - Bernie Goldberg Calls Jon a Racist: Fox News contributor, Bernie Goldberg, calls Jon a racist, but not because he believes it.
Fox News Is Run My Rupert Murdoch ... who manages to stay out of scrutiny of all three channels (Fox News, MSNBC & CNN) despite the extraordinary amount of news about him in the UK. Though if the story is too big to ignore then it will get a short play time on air and is removed. Like the recent Rupert Murdoch scandal which seemed to disapear before it even broke.
On Topic - Cable News - Fox News: The O'Reilly Factor, Fox & Friends and Glenn Beck are just a few of the programs Jon has to thank for keeping him in business.
Horrible Bosses - Fox News Won't Dumpster Dive: Instead of wasting its time with the epic scandal consuming Britain's journalistic establishment, Fox News investigates whether NPR is an agent of jihadist inquisition.
MSNBC is right next door to Fox News. Fox News & MSNBC BOTH qualify as "lamesstream media", especially when you realize that even Obama says NBC is not fully truthful.
On Topic - Cable News - MSNBCJon explores the horrible segues, questionable guests and mediocre stories that make MSNBC almost unwatchable.
Moment of Zen - Underwear and LattesMSNBC reports on what underwear and lattes tell America about the economy.
CNN is just horrible with occasional flashes of news that rarely lasts longer than the light of a firely.
On Topic - Cable News - CNN:Terrible segments, inappropriate stock footage and anchors who don't want to be there are a few reasons why CNN can't connect with viewers.
Moment of Zen - CNN's Choose the News: CNN viewers decide by text message which news stories they want to see in detail.
Nobody watches C-Span. Not even the media (whose job it's supposed to be).
On Topic - Cable News - C-SPAN: Putting people to sleep and tightening viewers' anuses are just some of the ways C-SPAN distinguishes itself

Guns 2: Is Piers Morgan The "Voice" Of The Left? {& Controlled by Murdoch? See the unified view on the riots. Was Piers Morgan, who has admitted to being friends with anchors of Fox & MSNBC, helping Fox News in starting riots? Or is Piers Morgan as kind hearted as he seems on TV? Kinda like Bill O Reilly but for the left?}
