The News Vs. Who Reports It.

I was wondering how important these days is who actually reports the news, versus what the story actually is. Many years ago there were very few news stations, and a limited amount of reporters, and everyone depending on your local news, you had your favorite newscaster.

I believe that this is very true today, but can we actually change our minds based on the reporter themselves? Does that matter anymore. Are we now more concerned with the station, the news, or the person reading the news off of a teleprompter?

I ask because I recently saw a video, that actually doesn't surprise me, but when I shared it with others, they were very skeptical about her behavior, even though it was on video. Things were said like "that was a long time ago", or "she was just tired", or even I'm sure that alot of reporters do it, but it doesn't change what they say".

Do you, think that it matters if a person who is a big figure in how the news is relayed, or does it even matter?




Peace, NRE.

That video is HILARIOUS!!
Sad and sickening, but funnier than hell - looped out or what; the idiot

I think that the later clips of her slurring, or seeming to have wayyy to much fun, is just a small view of what the first clip shows. There is a possibility that she is hammered when reporting the news.

Peace, NRE.

The purpose of TV news presenters is to manipulate and brainwash those who do not know how to read, which is probably the majority of the population at this point. This is quite ironic in itself, since most presenters are as dumb as a doornail and are only good at reading the teleprompter.

We tend to take more seriously good looking, well spoken and witty reporters than we do the opposite. Reporting the news is about presentation, and if the presentation is not good then people will be less inclined to listen to the story.

What is the title of the video?
It's been taken down by the user,

WTH happened to the link?
Is ATS and its threads more powerful than it knows?
Shame, that was a very telling video.
Did anyone manage to download it before it left??

Dang that is really too bad - it was a clip of Diane Sawyer - chugging pills with wine on the set, looked like she was ready to go to air.
Other clips showed her drunker than a skunk on-air--- during the last presidential election.
Clips as in multiple clips--- will look for another and try to post it

Here it is:
This one doesn't show her drunk on election day, but the pills w/booze is shown
"Too bad she's crazy..."
Really, now:

Thanks for adding another video. I was surprised that the one I linked went down so fast... wait. No, I'm not that surprised. That was one of the greatest compilations of Diane Sawyer smashed that Ive ever seen. I hope it becomes available again.

Peace, NRE.
