Thread Name: BS: New Political Censorship in USA TV
Subject: RE: BS: New Political Censorship in USA TV
My screen holds a great deal, so it depends on whose screen is being used! It would have been easier to read that story with the line breaks. Let's hope Joe has a high-resolution screen set at the maximum level (since I do web design and need the space, I have mine set at 1600 by 1200).
This story Larry has posted needs to be heard. I must admit, I stopped watching the NBC morning program a year or so ago because I was so tired of their hyping the things I thought should be left alone and neglecting the real "news." They're awfully willing to ask someone whose loved one was axe-murdered five hours ago "how do you feel?" instead of leaving them alone in their grief, and tracking down the real stories. The murder story would have been enough in itself, the instant reaction is too much, but is (to be blunt) the entertainment side of the news. ABC is slightly less bad about that.
Some of this may get even worse, since Murdock is trying to buy another media outlet, Dirct TV. He's famous for kicking out anyone who doesn't agree with him.
