So the bias is often theirs and what they want you to believe.

I remember my mom using Dippity Do!<br /><br />I personally think the media has always reported incorrectly. I believe many things were kept "hush hush" regarding political figures and celebrities up through at least the 1960's. Twice I've worked for companies that were sold, and when it was reported in the newspaper, there were always incorrect facts and names. So I don't believe too much that I read or hear. (Although, I do admit that recently I've turned into a Fox News junkie. Love Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly.)<br /><br />Blessings, LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064097529819037135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-14028292070349169062009-07-11T13:19:31.674-07:002009-07-11T13:19:31.674-07:00All truth!

Hard to believe much about anything. <br /> I'll believe the recession is getting better when my husband gets a job and I'm no longer afraid to buy anything but groceries:)Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-28246229377442635002009-07-11T12:13:30.147-07:002009-07-11T12:13:30.147-07:00Greg - I agree with what you've said.

The reporter has always chosen which facts to include and which not to based on the time/space allotted for the story. The problem is that ethics have become practically nonexistent and editors want the story told in the way that will garner the most viewers/readership, rather than just reporting the news. This goes for media on BOTH sides of the political battlefield. <br /><br />My opinion is that things will get worse before they get better. I also think common sense dictates that the country didn't get in this mess in a year or two and it will take longer than that to get out of it no matter who's running the show or what the reporters, econimists, talk radio hosts or preachers say.<br /><br /><i>Sorry I wrote a book!</i>Debbie@Like a Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595737927336471561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-82088863722592628562009-07-11T09:44:48.070-07:002009-07-11T09:44:48.070-07:00It is so refreshing to know that I'm not the o...It is so refreshing to know that I'm not the only one out there who is so tired of the "fluff" that we are reading. Facts are facts and the facts are that things are worse since the new adminstration took office and, in my opinion...not appearing like they're going to get any better soon. It's way past time for folks to wake up and wise up.<br />Thanks for putting words to what many of us are feeling!<br />Blessings!<br />DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071206169039849554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-7748735149029237662009-07-11T00:16:44.195-07:002009-07-11T00:16:44.195-07:00Greg, you're absolutely right. The sad thing ...Greg, you're absolutely right. The sad thing is that is the way reporters are expected -- and required -- to write today. It used to be objective but now it's slanted and words are deliberately chosen for their emotional response produced in a reader. It drives me up the wall. TV news is exactly the same. Listen for the deliberately chosen biased words. It's not bad reporting. It's deliberate manipulation!ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-11147617297696254922009-07-10T21:32:09.248-07:002009-07-10T21:32:09.248-07:00Amen Greg!

Put them out of business. Turn them off. Stop watching, stop buying their papers or magazines, and get the word out for all like minded individuals to do the same. They will lose $ and either change their ways or go out of business.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-40560255009328321742009-07-10T11:59:46.480-07:002009-07-10T11:59:46.480-07:00Right on, Greg.
