awesome examples of how the media blows things out of proportion. seriously...and i mean seriously...is there anyone out there who trusts the big news networks? is there anyone who really doesn't believe each network has an agenda? whether it's simply to gain ratings or to promote certain political parties? if you, i feel sorry for you. if not, how are we allowing ourselves to live in a country where completely biased and objective media is tolerated on a daily basis?

Seeing how Bush won a second term, I'm afraid I have to say that there is alot of people that do trust the big news networks.

I gave up TV news except as a performing enhancing drug for when I exercise, because it reliably raises my blood pressure and heart rate past normal physiological levels. I'm harnessing the anger, so to speak. Gives me that extra clench.

Re: Daily Show: Mitt Romney Erupts
This is another great example of the failings of the media today. The problem is when will anyone try to do anything about it.
Spider Jerusalem where are you?!? Plus is anyone else reminded of the Smiler when they look at Romney.

Thank God for Jon Stewart...
this crap happens over and over again... some more or less non-event or non-utterance occurs, and the media blows it up into a Big Event... and surprisingly, people treat the media's interpretation as reality even when they can watch the footage themselves.
Howard Dean's campaign-ending "scream" in 2004 comes to mind -- if you watch the footage in context, it's nothing more than a morale-boosting cheer for his supporters, but the media treated it like he was insane, and that's what is remembered today.
Or more recently, the view that Hillary won NH because she "burst into tears" -- if you watch the footage of that, there are no tears at all. Her voice catches for about half a millisecond, and then she delivers a somewhat impassioned speech, but nothing particularly unusual. And yet, the next day there are zillions of editorials (appearing even in papers like the NY Times) that Hillary's tears won over female voters.
It's absurd. There's no journalistic integrity anymore, and we need it more than ever when so many people seem to believe what the media says over their own eyes and ears....
