The US media is stuck on stupid!!!

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

They just make things up to fill time, and to try to out scoop the other guy.

When did they switch from just reporting the facts to playing with peoples lives?

I am so sick of the TH's and their panels making it up as they go along - not only in this case but others also. Why can't they wait till they get the correct information, instead of taking up air space with rumors, speculations and innuendo's.

I need a face for pulling out hair.

I want to know why Joe still has to explain that Joran doesn't know this guy. How hard is that to understand?

If you think they are pulling the wool over your eyes about this unimportant stuff, what do you think is going on with the big issues? The economy, the war, Iran and the environment???

Do you care to explain? Why do you think it is spin? I think the Spin is coming from another direction entirely.

CSI, I totally agree, but I think tabloid media, even mainstream media, has always been this way.

Every story I've ever read, even in credible newspapers, involving something I know something about, gets major facts wrong.

The New York Times was dead wrong about weapons of mass destruction. The far right calls it a "liberal" newspaper, yet even the Times tends to go with the State Department on most major issues.

Listen it is pretty simple simple everyone on all of the shows is reporting their version of the few facts that they actually have. All of the sources you are getting your info from have agendas and bias therefore when Joe T says something Refugees starts a thread reporting it as fact and SM reports it as spin, and when JQK says something SM reports it as fact and refugees report it as spin.

Utah, (or anyone else that knows the answer),

Do you have to be registered and active on SM to post on the front page at this point in time (what with their technical troubles)? If we can, I'd love to go to their front page and be the troll they always thought I was for a little while. Especially since Red has been pimping his site on some obscure cable TV shows.

The point is EVERYONE is spinning thats what they do when there are no facts to talk about they spin. The point is we have one side sucking down all of the J2K spin and the other downing all of Beth and co spin. So everyone should be questioning everything anyone says on all of the shows.

I always do that.

And please stop putting me into some category as in "you all" or "we" or "us" or "them."

To a degree although Some people on this forum just report what they've heard or read or watched without adding spin. Others, take those posts and intepret them and add some 'spin'.

But, when you see a website where the owner takes information and purposely twists it, to get in another shot at JVDS, can it be any clearer that the Scared Monkey site has no objectivity left?

Now, I would agree with your premise that the 'posters' to both sites seem to have bias, that's frequently present. What I don't see is the same degree of bias in the admins on this site, that is quite prevelant with the owners and mods at Scared Monkeys.

There's nothing wrong with reading both sites, to get a sense of balance. AT the very least, it can be fascinating to watch the same program on TV and then read completely opposite interpretations coming from the two discussion boards.

Spin? Please reject.. open your eyes. Why is it, people like you are stuck on stupid, and refuse to believe anything but the lies fed to you for 10 months by Beth and the media? What will it take for you to believe J2K was not involved? SO what they lied..theres no other evidence.. What is finally oming out in the media are things I have known about for some time.

CharlieRat, I think you can post on the front page comments without being registered BUT, and big but -- Klaasend has to approve every post before it shows up. So good luck!

Dr Lee was on Larry King and inferred they just found this shirt. No one bothered to tell him it was from last June.

Thanks. If Klaas actually has the ability to approve posts on the front page before they show, I'd have to believe that I'm a long shot to get anything posted over there.

But, based on what some others have been able to post, maybe her 'approval powers' aren't all that they're cracked up to be.
