Media doctoring images....it wouldn't surprise me one single bit. The news strives on ratings, you have to keep people interested.:disapp:

:nonod: Media here.:here: And even you have to admit, not all franchises are fair and unbiased. Even those who try to be have reporters who create a slant and try to make a name for themselves. It's a fact of life in america.

keep in mind, it is all about "sensationalism"... (no offense Marko) but could the media really catch our attention with happy stuff? no, they couldnt, they have to find something to offend our sensabilities and provoke a reaction...then we stayed tuned to see what else happens... i dont watch the news (shoot, i dont even watch tv), i rarely read the paper, if I want to find out about something I make a concerted effort to find the truth...

I fully concure. I'm just looking for a paycheck every 2 weeks. And in 3 weeks HS football starts...which means big time OT for me while I shoot games. I enjoy that. Sports = fun. News = teh suck.

Actually, I think they could catch our attention with happy stuff, however the happy stuff does not create an uproar... Bottom line is the happy stuff does not work as well to push an agenda... Making people feel good promotes a certain degree of complacency... On the other hand the horrible crap that pisses people off causes more action in the intended direction... ala brainwashing... How much more often do you hear someone ranting and raving versus hearing someone spout off about how happy they are? Attention America... The media is making you think what they want you to think! Of course, nobody's listening...

and you know now why I refuse to watch the news, or read the papers.

I'm not usually one to listen to anything without considering the source! Have any of you removed the /movies/photofraud.asp bit, and just gone to http://aish.com/ ? I'm not making any comments/judgements/etc. I'm simply pointing out a fact! :cheers:

Here is an unbiased source for good information: WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS UTTERLY OFFENSIVE TO JUST ABOUT EVERYONE http://www.landoverbaptist.org/ Funny as hell though... I dunno why, seeing that other website just reminded me of Landover... I guess it's because the layout used to be similar...

I believe the evidence, but I'm sure there are just as many doctored images showing Hezbollah attacks in Israel that the report did not address.

Forget who is reporting about what... The point is that the media who SHOULD report the news as it TRUELY is, is jacking with the truth! I have been saying this for quite sometime! Fthe media! They aren't worth the sweat off the end of my c**k! :sorry: Marko... you my boy!

You know you liked it Marko! I got a good laugh. Regarding the media...the news sucks. I wish I could shoot sports everyday. I know less about the news now than I did before I worked here. :wtf: do I know? I just shoot video and edit video.
