I keep seeing words like “must” and “obviously” and “no choice” in commentary on the media’s propensity to manipulate their product in order to achieve whatever they feel is the maximum effect intended. I fail to see why anyone would believe that because some people on the internet know about the manipulation, the media will decide to admit that they have problems with quality control and editorial bias.

Until someone breaks ranks within the established media, the calls for reform and the like are just so much hot air. I wish it were not so, but the reactions to this scandal certainly seem to bear me out.

Do you really not see a difference between “photo-journalism” that professes to be an unbiased view of events and a bunch of talking heads on TV sharing their opinions?

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. Iâ€™ve been reading this kind of statement in the majority of the news articles and I even hear the news Anchormen say this when they report the news on TV; Itâ€™s usually a politician using this kind tactics on a willing reporter. Itâ€™s like I canâ€™t tell his name, but believe what I say, he says {smile}.
