News Reporters Are No Good (Page 3): So true. And look at the political news today, always Hillary with smiles and in the best light, if there is such a thing. I know he has it coming...

It's all about corporate earnings. The stories that sell the most ad space are the ones that get the focus. And broadcast media is the worst. Sensationalism, blood, grief and nonesense, that's what a lot if not most, of them push. Remember a few years back, when all we heard about for days on end, was Britney Spears' latest meltdown? Important events all over the world were almost completely ignored, but we heard about her every damn day.

So true. And look at the political news today, always Hillary with smiles and in the best light, if there is such a thing. I know he has it coming at times but always Donald Trump's reports are always negative. If they, the TV stations, continue and they will because they are all left leaning liberals and refuse to report on Hillary's lies then I feel that they are making the news and not fairly reporting the news. I don't watch the BBC anymore because they are so one sided in their reporting.

What has happened in Greece? Have they solved all their money problems, nothing heard lately. There's more ad time then news. After the first 10 minutes you may as well turn it off. All that's left is filler junk and the last bit after all the dread is a feel good story to end the news. It's so bad that I don't know where to turn for real truthful news anymore.

I was watching a news report on the fire in California. From a safe area an evacuee was watching his house catch fire and burn to the ground. A reporter asked him how it felt to see his house burn. What an asshole.

That's very common among those folks. Yes too many are bad. I used to be one so I speak from personal experience.

The only part of the media that has an honest bone in their body is the sports reporters and some of them aren't worth the doo doo you ran over with your car the other day either.

About 60 years ago I could not get a college chemistry course I needed. As an elective I took a political sci course called propaganda analysis. We used Time Magazine as a text book. It was the most useful college course I have ever taken and news reporting has had the same poor quality for years. It will never change.

Advice to live by - never talk to the media, they are right in there with politicians in wanting to further their career at anybody else's expense.

99% of everything they report. Where have you been? More so, it's how they report it, twist everything to fit their agenda and what they won't report. It is the biggest form of propaganda that ever hit the planet. Start learning the truth of what is really going on in the world.

It has been going on since the mass media started with newspapers. Everything in 99.99% of America's minds is not true unless they hear about it on the 6 o'clock news. If they fail to tell you that our politicians sold us out to the New World Order decades ago, it never happened; even though anyone with half a brain can see it. Ever wonder why the Constitution is daily violated and nothing is done about it; it's simple, its been abolished. They just haven't told us yet. It's like that with everything. Americans walk around like a chicken with their head cut off and exhibit the same mentality, while the rest of the world laughs at us. They are playing us like a fine tuned fiddle; well most anyways!

I've noticed that their questions are getting more rediculous.

It's not just their questions but their stupid remarks. Yesterday, an announcer closed out his statement before going to a commercial by saying that they will be handing out more metals here in Rio between now and Saturday. My reply is: duh, you ignorant mother fu***r; no between now and Saturday, they are all going to sit around and play tiddlywinks. Has anyone noticed the two athletes from gator land who won the two metals for the triple jump and disrespected their country, our men and women in the military, by refusing to salute the flag during their metal ceremony. Then to top it off (and this was never mentioned for any other athlete) that the first lady tweeted them with congratulations. How disgraceful of her and NBC for mentioning her involvement and not reprimanding them for disgracing our flag and country. This is a perfect example where the media is the lowest kind of scum you can find on this planet.

In case you haven't notice, there are no more reporters any more. They all want to make the news, and put their personal slant in it. Its mostly TV. We can see what's happening. And sometimes they tell us one thing and we can see what is really happening.

I am not a reporter, but i do write stories for a newspaper. If my readers don't like what I write, they don't have to read it. If they don't read what I write, the paper will quit buying my stories. The reader is in charge, not the writer.

I watched a news conferance and after, they said they would have their expert panel discuss it. I just watched the damn thing, why do i have to listen to your idiotic panel? And when they start talking you wonder what the hell they were watching. They are all morons
