Nice Job
When was THAT cuz it sure was before Cronkite and Huntly and Brinkley Not Mike Wallace for sure. Thomas Payne, nope. ALL news it tainted. The best you can hope for is that its tainted in your favorIt used to be that 'news reporters' gave the facts as best they could determine them without any personal slant to their report. These days, it seems you can't even watch a TV news report without the reporter first telling you how you should hear it.Station's regular news shows rarely tell it like it is anymore!
Help me here WHAT law was THAT?
It appears her “live feed” was of the White House while she is in the studio. Looks like a blue screen image when she turns. Guess she is listening to the gunfire from the live feed of the WH
The press has always been protected by the First Amendment even for the reports that are not completely accurate. The protection is lost when falsehoods are knowingly passed as truth. I believe the founding fathers created the law. Unfortunately we now live in a time when the things most were raised believing in are falling apart.Remember it was only a couple of decades ago that the Enquirer was being quoted as a news source.
Sadly the destruction of those values is being led by elected officials of both sides.
It's rare that I comment on one of my own posts, but let me clarify just a little what I said here. 1st, I've been around a long time and seen probably more "news casts" and "news reports" and "news shorts" and on and on and on than many here on the forum. Now that's neither a good thing, nor a bad thing necessarily, but it is a thing. Today we have many different types of "the news" where some years ago we didn't have some of them. Back when there were only 3 channels on TV, 'news' was more often than not actual 'news'. Similar to the 'news' papers. We all tuned in to our favorite (remember there were 3 channels) and felt like we could and did rely on those 'news' reports to keep up with what was going on in our world. Then came along more TV channels, and obviously more 'news' reports to choose from. Then we had 24hr, round the clock 'news' and there was so much more time that had to be filled with 'news' that occasionally the news might be sorta 'made up' or at least exaggerated. We saw the advent of "news" commentary. Now that's not really news, it's somebody's opinion of the news, but it was still called 'news'. And we sometimes picked our favorite news reporter from those 'commentators'. It wasn't as relevant to hear real news reporting as it was to hear our favorite news reporter/commentator. Oh, so many choices! Then these commentators realized that the more they could appeal to the masses, the bigger their audience would be, which meant bigger money all around. But with time and familiarity we slowly demanded less real news from our favorite reporters/commentators, and more entertainment. Maybe "demanded" is too hard a word, maybe we just preferred it that way. And since that particular reporter/commenter was our favorite, he/she must be telling the 'most' truthful news anyway. And it's not often anyone can tell us any different. Now days, there's a favorite news 'reporter/commentator/news updater/news political discussion/talk shows to fit everyone's preference, and that doesn't even include all the social media "news" shows. Sadly, I read a report just a short while ago that the vast majority of Millennials, GenX'rs, thru GenZ'rs actually get their news from social media and we all know how truthful/real most of that is But yes, there was a time we could depend on the truth, the whole truth, and not much other than the truth on our local TV channel news show. All we had to do was decide whether it would be the news show/news reporter on channel 2, 6, or 9. And since most of us had to work for a living, we had to catch the 'early morning news' or the 6It used to be that 'news reporters' gave the facts as best they could determine them without any personal slant to their report. These days, it seems you can't even watch a TV news report without the reporter first telling you how you should hear it.
m or 11m news because at midnight the National Anthem was playing and there was nothing to watch but the 'Test Pattern'. And NO social media either. -------- Just somthin' to think about. jjWell said!It's rare that I comment on one of my own posts, but let me clarify just a little what I said here. 1st, I've been around a long time and seen probably more "news casts" and "news reports" and "news shorts" and on and on and on than many here on the forum.
