"Whether Web logs (known as blogs) or printed books, the media in a
democracy have a number of overlapping but distinctive functions that
remain fundamentally unchanged. One is to inform and educate. To make
intelligent decisions about public policy, people need accurate, timely,
unbiased information. However, another media function may be to advocate,
even without pretense of objectivity. Media audiences may benefit from
various, conflicting opinions, in order to obtain a wide range of
viewpoints. This role is especially important during election campaigns,
when few voters will have the opportunity to see, much less talk with,
candidates in person.

A second function of the media is to serve as a watchdog over government
and other powerful institutions in the society. By holding to a standard
of independence and objectivity, however imperfectly, the news media can
expose the truth behind the claims of governments and hold public
officials accountable for their actions."

More interesting is that he cites Jon Stewart as a credible new
source, but dismisses Rush in the same breath.

Because as we all know, only Republicans lie.

Reporters are supposed to report. Report without fear, favouritism or
prejudice. Report without injecting editorial style commentary or
interpretation. Just report.

They aren't there to speak the truth to anyone. They are there to ASK
the truth and to ask it from as many sources as they can.

If the reporters do their part honestly and properly, the 'common
person' should handle the rest. Fear of death and retaliation sometimes
prevents that handling.

Fact belongs on the first page. Editorial comment belongs on a clearly
labelled page four.

Yellow Journalism {Sensational, Slanted and Biased} existed
before the idea of Objective {Fair and Balanced} Journalism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism

While 'winning' the "Pulitzer Prize" may be the stated goal
of Every News Orginization and Reporter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize

Most Origanizations have an Agenda and Reporters have
their Biases. Reality Sucks and That Ain't News :
Just The Facts of The Business of 'The News' and
Influencing Public Opinion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_influence

Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) identified that the PRESS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Rendell
{Major US Media} had given Barack Hussein Obama II
was Embarrassingly BIASED
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the..._for_pro-.html
Basically Governor Ted Strickland (D-OH) also many
the same statements about the Slanted Press Coverage
of Barack Hussein Obama II by the Liberal Media.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II IS THE ANTI-CHRIST :
http://www.topix.com/forum/state/ok/T6LC6ESI3S0DET45G
Here Is The 'Claimed' Evidence:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwald...antichris.html
1.- He will come as a man of Peace (Obama promises peace in Iraq,
defeat for the US)
2.- He will come mounted on a white Female horse(Obama mother is white
who had 6 African husbands)
3.- He will come to deceive( Obama says he's a Christian but in fact
he was born a Muslim, practices the Islamic religion, prays Friday’s
facing Mecca)
4.- He will make himself the most powerful man on earth, if elected
5.- He will try to destroy the Jewish People and Israel( Obama has
said he loves the Arabs specially the Palestinians, hates Israel and
Jews. Admires Hitler, Osama etc)
6.- He will present himself as good and righteous but in fact he's
Satan himself. Violence is in his heart
7.- Obama will help Al Qaida in its evil projects.
8.- Barack Hussein Obama is the “King of the South” predicted in the
Bible.(Daniel .11, Kenya is south of Jerusalem)
9.- Obama comes to implant muslim Sharia Law upon America.
Obama is the Anti-Christ, beware of him.
Watch him and don't let you be deceived by Him.
Supporters of Obama: 1.5 billion Muslims, Oprah, Louis Farrakanh,
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all American Muslims.
OBAMA’S GAME IS DECEPTION AND VIOLENCE
A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR OSAMA AND KILLER ISLAM!!

The National Lampoon is satire, as is Jon Stewart. Satire (look it up)
is an extremely powerful form of topical commentary. But you need two
things:

1. a sufficiently developed intellect

and

B. a sense of humor

Everybody lies. Some people act like they are perfect, but then get
caught being human. This humbles a decent person. An asshole just
proceeds like it never happened.

Talk about yer arrogance...

Satire is not reportage of fact.

Credibility is not a function of effective satire. It's a
function of accuracy of reported fact.
