Many of us on WS know the misinformation NG reports. What galls me is that most of her followers think if she says it, it is accurate.
Chelly,
ITA. Over here in the UK there are, lets say, five main tv stations, yet the news reporting on them all, is more or less the same, duh!
Sometimes even the same order of stories is repeated across news channels. One thing I detest is the faux, mock, pulpit tone enunciated by so called
correspondents who trip out the appropriate cliches as they read off their scripts.
They and their editors patently think their viewers are stupid. One
correspondent has had the appellation Home and Economic prepended to his job title in a matter of months. Its quite likely the guy has a degree in classics, and is moved around to suit the news agenda.
So in reference to Nancy Grace, it seems the media thinks as long as they cobble stuff together and transmit it, then thats fine since freedom of speech applies etc.
I watched some Forensics movies on the History Channel same approach, cutting and splicing old archived 19th century crimes and contrasting them with similar 20th century crimes.
Then I woke up and realized I read all that years ago in True Detective magazines.
I reckon mainstream media is in terminal decline, internet plurality has removed their received perception as purveyors of truth. Rupert Murdoch has demonstrated precisely what matters in the media, and it has nothing to do with facts or the truth.
In the UK the corporate state has enclosed the internet with its requirement that all homes sign up to a *advertiser censored* filter, i.e.
Opt In is the Orwellian feel good phrase. Coming soon to those who
opt out and have children will be the mandatory Social Work visits to check on the welfare of the children living in such houses. Not to mention who will administer the database that collates all the information. i.e. the government or the ISP, anyone reading this might think its very good idea, until you recognize someone somewhere has to log all your internet requests, i.e. those for
Opt Ins and those for
Opt Outs, and those lists just might be of interest to someone somewhere buried deep in the machinery of the current administration? All of which amounts to Total Surveillance by the back door.

By the end of 2014, all 19million UK homes currently online will be contacted by service providers and told they must say if family-friendly filters blocking all *advertiser censored* sites should be switched on or off.
All new customers will have *advertiser censored* automatically blocked by the end of the year, unless they ask for the filter to be removed.
Obviously all of this has nothing to do with *advertiser censored* or family friendly filters since off the shelf commercial versions are currently available and probably has evrything to do with a medium, that unlike the mainstream media, speaks the truth to people?
