[quote=Giantone;1137160]Yes it was ,pretty sure why I'm so down on these News "organizations".People like Walter Cronkite , Huntley and Brinkley,Edward R. Murrow,Charles Kuralt,Harry Reasoner, and there is a long list I know I'm forgetting but all would tell you the same thing.Once news department had to become "money makers .........it all went out the window.[/quote]

Long time friend of mine's father was a career journalist for the WP. His response to me on that issue was "Once the news became an...industry rather than a profession, it lost much of it's integrity".....

No surprise if true. Apparently workers are stating they witnessed this happening and fairly easy to see how this is wrong.

This is the 4th story on CNN "top stories" news section. How is this even news? If anything its belongs in the back section of a local news paper under the crime section.

This is the type of stuff that doesn't do anything but lame attempts to divide folks. We spend so much energy on things that don't matter instead of tackling tough issues. Thank the media for pushing garbage like this....

media companies are in the business of selling ads. they post things that get clicks, cause that's how they make money. it is what it is.

Right, they are profiting from this biased rhetoric which is more editorial than fact based reporting.

I'm gud with it as along as people can see it for what it is. I'm not gud with it if people buy into the multiple sensitive subjects cnn is trying to sell the reader on.

"[B]Jury finds reporter, Rolling Stone responsible for defaming U-Va. dean with gang rape story[/B]"

absolutely beautiful. Hopefully this starts a rash of lawsuits against Rolling stone from pending parties....Im hoping Rollingstone goes the way of liberal tabloid site Gawker. Another victory. Good to see media being held responsible for selling fiction as fact.

Think FOX will do to him what NBC did to Brian Williams.


Fox News anchor Bret Baier apologized on air Friday for his report that Hillary Clinton faces a "likely" indictment as the result of a federal investigation into the Clinton Foundation and for his report that Clinton's private email server had been hacked by five foreign intelligence agencies.

Both of Baier's mistaken reports were made Wednesday night in an appearance with Fox News Channel's Brit Hume. At the time, Baier said the information was based on "two separate sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigations into the Clinton emails and the Clinton Foundation."

This.. I work in media. It is all about rating points, getting viewers, clicks, eyeballs and listenership. Most of the brands have ad agencies, even on the local levels and the advertisers drive the dollars. The agencies are under pressure to deliver results for their clients so they take the advertisers message to wherever and whomever has the numbers. The content isn't important, the ratings are what matters.
