He injects himself into the news.

Ya I remeber the Swiftboating too, now that it's mentioned
And Clinton's Impeachment.
He is an excitement junkie. He thinks he knows everything about politics.

He may have lots of contacts, knows lots of issues.
But he flunks as a journalist; IMHO

He, and most of the others, preferr to throw fuel on the fire. They make such big issues out of almost nothing that there's no difference when they report on what IS a big issue.

They could have given us the "head's up" on the swiftboat ads within 72 hours of those ads appearing. They didn't. They preferred to keep the arguments going.

This is why people get so misinformed.

guess that's enough of those little dodads.

I blame people 90% and news outlets 10%...

[quote=jdanton;17457]This is why people get so misinformed.QUOTE]

I say it requires 'willing participants' to be misinformed.

I don't like the TV news services and in fact don't even watch TV. And some are better than others, but all of them must attract viewers or their pay checks are history. If they could attract viewership with hard-core neutrality and debates or Q&A on the issues and truth, they would do so. But we can assume that this is not possible so they resort to tabloid mentality, truth and facts go down the drain, but viewership is up, and the fat pay checks keep rolling in...
