unfortunate...here's a rambling late-day comment...<br /><br />unfortunately, i fear that most share a common bias: get noticed, be popular, increase ratings, beat the competition.<br /><br />once a story gets traction, then everyone wants to be out in front. all looking for the man-bites-dog angle. in the old days, i think an editors personal beliefs would weigh heavily on what got reported and what didn't. now, the lines between news and opinion are so blurred, who can tell anymore.<br /><br />i think most are just out there looking for the train wrecks. and if they can't find one, they'll create it. i'm not complaining. i like watching train wrecks as much as the next guy.Ed G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08870533414070848501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-91755867896142157622009-05-18T17:09:00.000-05:002009-05-18T17:09:00.000-05:00Great topic!

I was impressed with the local reporting of an earthquake we had here yesterday. I guess it depends. I like Anderson Cooper, can not STAND Bill O'Reilly.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-16609425083857175282009-05-18T15:13:00.000-05:002009-05-18T15:13:00.000-05:00I agree with the bias.

It should be a news directors job to balance the natural biases of his staff.jrchaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858326373606903797noreply@blogger.com
