And don't forget that even the lack of the presentation of a story can be a political stance in and of itself. Even picking and choosing which stories they present, even if they did it 'without a political slant', will itself push a particular political message or agenda.
The Parkland shooting was all over the MSM for days, and is now leading into the gun control discussion again; however, another school shooting which took place only about a week later, one in which the shooter was taken out by a security officer with a gun before he could do any real damage, was barely even mentioned in anything other than that county's local news.
And even afterward, they continue to push the Parkland story.
I wonder why that is, exactly?
And even within the Parkland shooting itself. How many MSM outlets were reporting about not only one, but *four* Sherif's deputies were standing outside of the school doing absolutely nothing while the shooter went on his rampage?
You can use news to further an political agenda, that is not in question. But the news itself is first and foremost something that happened.
In theory, that's how it is supposed to work.
That is what i mean when i say that news in inherently not political while a politician is.
the point of it all is,
Even though the message reported might not be intended to mean anything than promotion,
It tells you that A, these medias are all a mouthpiece for the same goal.
And if they all publish the same "narrative" the people will be inclined to believe the message because "look, they all say it"
and B, the content of their message is an attempt to get you to tune out other sources in favor of theirs, which can as they say themselves, be dangerous to a democracy, when people only get 1 account of things
The news isn't supposed to be political, but right now it's just a mouthpiece for a particular political agenda.
And we're not talking about the idea of news, but the practical reality as it exists right now.
also news "SHOULD" be inherently not political,
Modern news is factiosn telling their take on an incident, rather than report the incident itself
And back to the spot... yes i see the potential for abuse (mainly because the stations run under different banners) but the spot itself is not different to other spots.
Too many journalists see their work as an opportunity to promote their own pet political notions, rather than a responsibility to inform the public and let their readers and viewers decide for themselves.
I know of very few people i would call journalists.
Writer/Activist/Idiot is a lot more common.
haha
That is funny.
the shadow of the jew π
I can call my self the queen of holland, doesnβ5 make it true π
They're presenting themselves as journalists, though, and calling what they do journalism.
When in reality it's political activism.
no but thats because thats an incredibly off claim,
If you said you were a journalist, some people would believe you
i thought marx was french
Marx was a german jew
kind of funny, his work created two of the most hated political ideologies of the 20th century
It was released on february 21st though
anyhow i'm off, its nearing midnight
The funny thing is that the idiots in the US still take it seriously.
