Open Google, type in "John Kerry's principled positions" and hit "I'm feeling lucky.". Funny stuff. Not as funny as doing the same thing with the phrase "French military victories" but funny nonetheless. 7:25:29 PM  What do you think? [] trackback []

I recently wrote about how the media is failing in it's job and that it's the American people who lose out in this kind of situation. People from both sides of the aisle frequently complain of bias towards their political adversaries but in fact, I think this is highly unlikely. While a recent Pew Research Center poll shows that journalists tend to self-identify with liberal values, I think, and The Belmont Club tends to agree (Or is that you agreeing with the Belmont club-Ed. hard to say), that the real culprit here is a lack of ability, motivation and desire to report the real news. People tend to acheive to the lowest acceptable level. Journalists are people. Until we develop higher standards for the news and media, we'll continue to get bad coverage. I truly believe blogs will lead the way in the revolution of how the world is reported on. I was once skeptical and it's easy to forget that we are still a very small minority, but in the long run, giving people the freedom to easily report on their world has to improve the accuracy of news reporting. |
