I just learned the definition of douche=someone that doesn't agree with my politics.
Ergo...many of you here are a douche. |

I don't often fall right inline with Crakr but he's spot on this time in my opinion. |

As far as journalism goes 'sensationalism' is the least of it's problems. Collusion and manipulation with authorities is running rampant.
There are no impartial journalists anymore and those that want exclusive interviews with famous people will collude and pander to their interviewees interests to get those interviews. |

markust: Here are the standards of journalism: Truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability
None of the current news outlets follow those 'standards' today. If you believe any do, you've been deceived.
When journalism students were polled in the 1990s about their motivation for wanting to be a journalist, the most common answer was "I want to change the world", which directly conflicts with objectivity. Other reasons given were "To get respect", "Travel the world", and "Get close to celebrities", all of which conflict with journalism 'standards' in way or another.
Journalism should be just about reporting the news, not injecting opinion, but those days of objectivity are long gone and will never return.
Journalism has turned into a game of one-up-manship and what you can get away with saying, without getting into trouble. |

1 down, about 20 more to go.
Next on the list is Rush, via self induced auto-erotic asphyxiation. |

"Brietbart was a true journalist; and that is something the main stream media has abandoned."

He couldn't have been further from being a true journalist. The man pushed partisan sensationalism. It's "journalsim" like his that is dividing this great nation of ours. |

A lot can be said about you by the people you admire. If this was one of those people, there is indeed something wrong with you. |

Your comment made me laugh insane_ai. In one sentence you call Madest a left wing radical nutjob. Then in your very next sentence your partisan comment makes you sound like a right wing radical nutjob. This is what opinion media does to a person. |

I feel feel for his family and friends.
His death is a prime example of why you should not live a negative life. Negativity snowballs and takes over everything. It is not a healthy way to live. |

We already knew madest is a left wing radical nutjob, why are any of you surprised that he is happy over this?
Supid leftwing nujobs don't like it when people expose them for being the leaches on society that they are. That is why they celebrate this unfortunate event. |

@Tsuroyu..You should apply your own logic to your posts.."Instead of retarded criticisms that invalidate themselves, try to say something more substantial next time." Why are his kids rotten just because he has money? |

@CRAIGJ
I wasn't trying to be classy. It's not one's job to be classy when dealing with their opponents. It's their job to beat them. I could give a drat about how classy your dumb ass thinks I am. And in response to "just because someone disagrees...blahblahblah," so what... nobody is ever evil, because we're not allowed to call people we disagree with evil? Some people are just wrong, and do wrong things, and deserve to get called out on it. I mean, drat, by your logic, you can't call ME wrong, just because I disagreed with you. Instead of retarded criticisms that invalidate themselves, try to say something more substantial next time. And to "their father worked his ass off etcetc," drat off with all that. As if millions of fathers aren't working their asses off for their kids, every day, while yet never getting rich.
Dippoo. |

@tsuroyu.. Thats right..you stay classy. Typical liberal, because you don't agree with someones views that makes them evil. My bet is you have not listened to more that a few sound bites of him that your liberal friends have put in front of you. And yes his kids will be off than than others because their father worked his ass off to provide a better life for his family. I know thats not in your liberal handbook so its hard for you to grasp. |
