Breaking news: Media exaggerates truth

In the 24/7 cable news media cycles, mainstream channels are doing everything to attract viewers and beat their competitors. As a result, many non-stories are dressed up with dramatic music and flashy graphics to portray drama, fear and capture the attention of American viewers. On a regular basis, in breaking news situations, channels get the facts wrong and make bold connections with little or no evidence. Just last week, Fox News reported that a UFO was flying over NYC. Hours later, it turns out the mysterious object was in fact a balloon.

BREAKING NEWS: The news isn't news!

[munib1000]

Fox is trash

[eastariel]

The news media is in the business of telling us what we want to hear.

If they don't, they're out of business.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the prettiest Empire of them all?" ~ America

"Not you, you naked, fugly tyrant! And quit leaving that stinky trail of bullshit all over the world!" ~ Truth News International

Have you ever heard of Truth News International? Of course not. I guess they went out of business. Everyone watched Flattery Fairy News instead.

More break news: The media also exaggerates their lies!!

[aaron4801]

CNN news and fox news not news they make they own news,brain wash peoples

[goldenknight777]

What ever happened to non-biased realistic, professional journalism in America? Oh I know, 9/11 really must have changed everything as we know it!

got my degree in media studies, so i love this shit...but did they mean CITING facts? ... or, like, before sighting (as in they give facts before they see them?), like a purposeful pun?...

@bnfox Love, honesty and respect. If you see that as repressive dogmatic nonsense then I really would hate to be part of your world. Yes we may disagree on issues but there are alot of lies in the media too. They don't talk about how Palestinians and Jews were living peacefuly and in harmony before zionist (anti-semetic) ruling, or the Jews opposed to the state of Israel. Satan tries to turn people away from the truth. . Don't follow man, follow God. Because he will only bring you truth.

@DezeroMusic - yes, I am merciless in my retribution against repressive and dogmatic nonsense - don't feel picked on, I feel the same way about Islam and Judaism and the hundred fragments of Christianity because you guys can't even get along.The comment about racism was silly and irrelevant.Western society is based on christian principles (certainly not it's values) and precisely why I say part of our problem.your comment about lack of jesus creating communism is primitive and naive.NWO is here.
