news stories should not be covered or written to further anyone's agenda. the only agenda should be the plan to get the truth out to the masses and tell it without bias. newsworthy news is news about someone being murdered but no dwelling on it forever. I'm sick of the national US media dwelling on these crime cases that seem to go forever. You have O.J. Simpson, Laci Peterson, the sexual assault from Kobe Bryant, and now the supposed sexual abuse of kids from MJ. I don't really give a flying f*ck about these people getting in trouble. I don't care if Martha Stewart gets in trouble for doing corporate crime. I'm just glad she's in for doing that kind of crap. It seems to me that the national media only cares about you if you're famous, in the military, or in politics. Otherwise they don't even publish the stories. The news should also publish secret info that not many know instead of covering up.

I heard from a message board from some people who knew about the 9/11 coverup that right on 9/11 that scene shown on the news was said to be Palestinians cheering for 9/11 happening but in fact it was a scene from 1991 either the palestinians cheering on the victory of gulf war for the US or some palestinian wedding. Certainly the US media doesn't expect us to believe that Palestinians as a whole love al qaeda, do they? I don't care if you're famous or not or well-known. If you do a crime then I don't wanna hear about it on the news unless it's someone I know or care about. otherwise, it's no use to me.

I also think that the media should stop scaring people to the point where they actually start putting that # on their windows post-9/11 with the 'threat' of biological warfare. That's nonsense. How the hell would chemicals go through the window anyway? atoms can't just break through a solid arrangement of atoms like a window that easily. I'm also tired of the media being the puppet for the gov't, always going behind what the president says and not following their heart. All of them are pro-war or conservative it seems to me. Fox News and MSNBC report with a conservative agenda and all their talk show hosts are conservatives or ultraconservative morons. the only okay ones I see are Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews and maybe Joe Scarborough sometimes. Michael savage was terrible. He claimed that all liberals are the reason that america sucks so much and why we're so messed up today. He thinks all feminists are "femi-nazis." I'm glad he's off the air.

We need to get some liberals hosting talk shows. I'm tired of hearing from a conservative view. I'm a liberal myself and I'd like to see people with a similar ideology as me be able to have a chance to talk about stuff. These talk shows on MSNBC and FOX NEWS are absurd anyway. what good do they do? talking about a bunch of stories and believing the gov't in their false 'terror alert' and propaganda of the war on terror. What 'freedom' is Bush trying to protect with the troops in Iraq? our freedom was never at jeopardy. It's all a lie. don't believe the gov't all the time. a "surprise" terror attack happens on 9/11 and i'm supposed to beleive that now there's a threat by al qaeda on our freedom? since when did al qaeda wanna take our freedom?

Al qaeda just wants to get us back for abandonin them in 1979 and all that other # we've done to the arab world. although I disagree with them attacking the US people if they actually ever did. But the gov't is so ignorant and everyone says "our freedom is at risk." how? why isn't al qaeda for democracy? maybe they want an independent democratic state that's arab. think of that, BUSH? stupid morons waving flags and being pro-war since the beginning can't see through the lies and deceptions. sorry about ranting. I'm sick of bush and the media.

I thought maybe I would share this article I found a time or so back and wondered at possible comments or thoughts.....:

"Media / Political Bias"
Link:
rhetorica.net...

Small excerpt: (the article is well worth the read thought)

"There is no such thing as an objective point of view.

No matter how much we may try to ignore it, human communication always takes place in a context, through a medium, and among individuals and groups who are situated historically, politically, economically, and socially. This state of affairs is neither bad nor good. It simply is. Bias is a small word that identifies the collective influences of the entire context of a message."
