The media needs to be held accountable for misinformation. It might not be a lie....but.....it's not accurate either. I say fine them for speculation. If it's not a fact and you report it and blow it out of proportion, then you get fined. If you are reporting about something that you can't nail down, don't make crap up to fill in the blanks. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.
I really think the problem at this point is that we (the general public) take what the media presents as "factual information", when what we're really being sold is "entertaining information". They choose what to cover, and how to cover it, based on it's value as entertainment.
I look at news reports as "episodes", just like any other sit-com.
I wonder what will be on this evening's episode of the news?
Hopefully something cool, or entertaining... Maybe something that will stir other emotions? Get me fired up, or even a little depressed?
