Kinda agree with you Yorick. The Media is over the top, mass marketed, over commercialized .... something. R.I.P. = Rust In Putressance right? Maybee, like the WWF (World Wrestling Fedderation) being called "Sports Entertainment" CNN and the like should be called "News Entertainment".

The media has always been over the top.
I still read headlines, there is nothing close to "escapism" involved. I just choose when to read them. I just got back from the grocery store...you know all the gossip rags, magazines etc that they conveniently place around the checkout lane? I couldn't tell you one headline or even whose face (other than Oprah lol) was on any one cover. (Oprah remark made because she is always on her own covers. ![]() Calling my method of choice a cop out and escapism when you're whining. tsk tsk. Throwing Anti-American rhetoric in doesn't help your side of the argument either. If you want to see ugliness in the world, you are going to find it; that doesn't make me or anyone else responsible for your misery. |

edit: Oh BTW, Hey Yorick! I see you decided to come to the darkside for a while and join us over here on the War Discussion channel! Welcome!!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Not even close - the chanel I get is an Australian Sky offtake. You get a mix of British and Australian hosts, and you get a mix of NBC and CNN and BBC and FOX feeds. So it isn't FOX free, but it has a balance which works a whole lot better. My preferred station to watch when I want coverage has been the Beeb [img]smile.gif[/img] .

So, what news sources are reliable? Certainly the leftist and rightist independent news sources are more "propoganda" than CNN or CBS.
