Basher Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 The entire "news" industry is scum. They are using people's fears of the words "plane, crash, building, New York" to sensationalize what seems to be a non-event.No disrespect to any victims or emergency personnel at the scene.

MK Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 The entire "news" industry is scum. They are using people's fears of the words "plane, crash, building, New York" to sensationalize what seems to be a non-event.As a member of the media, I find this a tad offensive Basher. Did a plane not crash into a building in New York? what other words are there to describe what happened? this is huge news in light of 9/11. anytime a plane crashes into any building anywhere it is an event - mainly because it so rarely happens. Every report I've seen stresses the fact that it is not terrorist related. Maybe I'm missing the sensationalism because I'm immune to it or something? help me out here.

Basher Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sorry to offend you, MK. I was flipping channels and hit CNN - they show a small fire in a building that was hit by a small plane, and they have terrorism experts and taglines like "10/11 the next 9/11?" running across the bottom of the screen.It offended me. The amount of fear-mongering spewed out by the American mainstream media really is offensive. We don't see it as much up here, which is a good thing.

MK Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Agreed. "10/11 the next 9/11?" is over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 All they have to do is add a question mark at the end, and they can say whatever they want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I71ha4T4rUI [be sure to watch that] also...check out these headlines "My pitch for YOU to come to Vegoose" "Buy a share in my World Series of Poker winnings!"

MK Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I like the Stewart clip Bouche - very fitting.Keep in mind though that one of the main purposes of the media is to ask questions. All those CNN headlines are legit - the FOx ones notsomuch. For example, "Saddam and 9/11?" was exploring possible ties between the two. We know there are none and I guarantee CNN's story proved that. Joe Blow couldn't prove that. Glorious media.The first thing I asked when I heard about today's crash was, "another 9/11?" I bet you thought it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timouse Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 My "scum" line was over the top too. Maybe if I just call CNN and Fox News scum that would be okay. in the spirit of bouche's Jon Stewart clip. Fox and CNN...scum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
