Here's yet another (alleged) example of the media making selective edits in order to slant a story closer to the line that they want to take.
As reported by Raw Story, this piece tells of the anger of students who appeared on a Fox Channel special which was aired directly in response to CNN's 'Planet in peril' show. Its almost a perfect mirror of the 'An Inconvenient Truth Vs. The Great Global Warming Swindle' debate.
Looks to me like 'adjusting the message' is fast becoming the norm across the mainstream media. Whatever happened to honest reporting?
(Come on Peter, calm down, you can stop rolling around laughing now!)
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
Hven't had a chance to see it, or even read the thing too much in deatil, but the words 'going in with eyes open' spring to mind.
ReplyDeleteThis programme does not sound like an IPCC review panel.
Also I can't get a handle on whether they were made to look silly by naughty editting (no excuse) or simply by not getting thier poinst across very well (sorry...looking at the wrong culprit there ).
Sorry, just read it more thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteSeems there was naughty editting. However, to be sure I'd have to watch it all (and guess at any ommissions), as there are these magic words '..Hain claimed.'
Did Raw not check either?
I don't know many media who seem very concerned about truth on any basis any more.
