in Zocalo v2.0
Yes I hate the media, WHY? Well becuase they always like to learn to one side of an agrument, some times they really like to be one sided(FOX NEWS, CNN, CBC) Well if you ask me, I AM FUCKING SICK OF IT and FUCK THEM. Why Cant they just give the basic facts about somthing and don't bother with leaning to one side and let me my self decide if its good or bad.
If they actly do that I mite just watch them if I actly cared about the world around me, becuse I don't(The world is depressing and when I know whats going on I get depressed and start cutting my self). See but they wont, becuase they mite be get ratings and we all need good ratings to we can sell airtime for comerials!!!1!one!!
As you can see. The world does not like freethinkers like me. ANother reason why I do not fit in.

Why did you avoid the much more obvious pun?
[B]What did they do to you this time? [/B][/QUOTE] Me or him?
Do I think this is a good thing, no, not really. But it is a necessary evil that to have an independent media, that it is run as a business. The alternative is government supported media, and that is far too dangerous a path to follow.
That said, media bias is far from a new thing. Take a look at the newpapers from the turn of the century. I'd be willing to bet there is more integrety in the media today due to the vast quantities available, than there was 100 years ago.

[B]independent media, that it is run as a business.[/B][/QUOTE]Media run by money isn't anymore independent. Money doesn't have any moral or ethics so when making more money is target everything else becomes secondary.
Like in that consumer right fraud/illegal law here in Finland, most distorting and treacherous information was told by big commercial medias which had that free/unregulated capital behind them.
News media are all owned by large corporations.
CBS, NBC, ABC, etc., all owned by Big Business, who profit by shaping our opinions to favor those politicians who then screw us.
And it's very hard to change it, even IF the people who were in a position to do so were so inclined.
[B]Let's see... Republican administration = big tax breaks for large corporations and the owners of those corporations.

The problem is, there is no way to have a independent media without running it as a business. It takes lots of money to support a fully connected media outlet and that money has to come from somewhere, of which there are only two sources, the readership/viewship or the government.

How about this: If you own a large media outlet, you may own no other business? Seperate GE from NBC and you may see some slightly less biased coverage. I think that having huge corporate conglomerates owning the media that reports on them is a [i] definite[/i] conflict of interest. Throw in the politics and vast sums of money at stake, and it is even more so.

[B]would more than likely create a larger number of small, even more biased outlets, rather than large, mainstream news sources.[/B][/QUOTE]

Today we have messed up news, in that the reporters have one bias, the big companies have another, and they often clash. In the middle of all this we have people believing that there is this big impartial source of information, when due to human nature, there can not be such a thing.
I think returning to the smaller obviously biased information outlets of the past is a positive thing, becaue it will encourage more skeptiscism towards the information we are getting, from all sides of the spectrum.
