About News…
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006I was watching this US election on TV tonite and it just struck me. Real news does not exist in the US and everyone is fine with it. I just just can’t believe everyone is ok with only propaganda on the news. I mean FOX and CNN both alike. And worse, it’s starting to become entertainment. News is not entertainment, should be serious. These “official news” people try now to get the audience from colbert report and the daily show by imitating them a bit. This is really sad because it means the shows that are there to make fun of what’s happening actually contain more “news” than the official ones !
Some of the sentences said by these so called journalist on FOX/CNN would have been impossible in France, these guys would be fired on the spot, they would be done with their journalist careers and, all the politician would be finger pointing at the news channel director…
Now, of course French news channels are a tiny bit biased, we all know which way. But it is never apparent and sometimes hard to tell, since all the show about politics always have both parties.
In US, news channels are so one-way it just has nothing to do with news. It kindda piss me off to see people swimming in ignorance: real democratic countries have real news. hello? american people? your country is not democratic!
