The Media again

This is a clip from TV News Lies:

"TVNL Editor's Comments: CNN has started running cute little TV ads that follow in the footsteps of the famous ESPN ads. They are mildly humorous and they make you like the news people in the ads. A little note to CNN….YOU ARE A NEWS NETWORK! Or at least you claim to be one. At least pretend to have some dignity. At least pretend to present what you do as journalism. This would mean treating journalism the way it deserves; as a serious vital practice and not as entertainment."


Yes, CNN, we need you to act like journalists, not infotainers. We need you to tell us who, what, when, where and why.... without your editorial comments. You do not need to be popular, you need to be accurate. You need to realize what is and what IS NOT important. You need to stop the family tragedies, celebrity crime, and nonsense reporting.

Our democracy is hurting because of your choices. Not to mention Iraq.....
