cameramonkey 0 #1 December 15, 2005 So I am listening to the news this AM laying in bed. On station A, they refer to a shoplifter that refused to stop for a deputy in the parking lot. Instead, he jumped in his car, and tried to back out of the space. The officer fired ONE shot at the tire to disable the vehicle (he missed). The suspect jumped out and ran. he was caught a few mins later. I get to work and start listening to station B. The teaser is "shootout in local walmart parking lot... details at the bottom of the hour" SHOOTOUT?!?!?!? Dont you usually have to have an EXCHANGE of gunfire to be a "shootout"? Next it will be "pedestrial almost killed trying to cross the street" (he fell on the ice and hit his head on the curb... he COULD have died from blunt force trauma) Or how about "17 skydivers almost killed in skydiving jump." (they COULD have died had they not pulled, after all) *sigh*Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbi If you ask Station A, its a toss-up. if you ask station B, we are either near a drought, or about to flood a neighborhood and wash away thousands of homes...Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

He'll probably get resisting arrest as well for that one, whereas he would be an idiot to stop in the first place. the officer, however, should get fired for firing a shot in public parking lot when no ones life was in danger.

LisaM 0 #5 December 15, 2005 My favorite is when they show car accidents and they say the CAR jumped a curb or the CAR swerved and flipped. Like the car has a mind of its own. Who needs the person in the driver's seat anyway! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are the ones that slow down for car accidents, get caught up in OJ running down the expressway, read tabloids, watch trashy reality TV, make Jerry Springer popular, etc.... Most honorable reporters are long gone. It's about glam, popularity, ratings, bill rates, looking good, getting it on the air 2secs before your competition, fitting as much news on the TV screen at once no matter how of the meat of the story has to be cut.......but more importantly it is about making money. Therefore they look at what most of what people fall for (see above) and present the news in that fashion. Look how popular the Cable News Nets are, the Primetime live shows.....and then look at the last remaining real news shows and how much their ratings are dropping off. Therefore the phrase "If it bleeds, it leads" is what most news stations live by. And also - don't forget that sometimes the medium is the message._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
