You are right on, Jordan. I was watching MSNBC and it was the same kind of pablum, with stories that have been well worn [and worn out, might I add].
I believe that one of the problems with regular media is that indeed, they are afraid to offend for fear of losing potential interviews. The result is that all "points" are made with a view to not offend.
My hubby watched Newsmax and as I looked over his shoulder, republicans have no difficulty getting offensive. That creates a very uneven playing field.
See, this is why we read the Progress Report, and not the NYT, WSJ, or WP. If they don't want to fully disclose their knowledge of the "candidates", then I don't want to fully disclose my wallet for subscription. Simple. Thanks, Jordan; keep up the great work.
Thanks Daniel! Those papers have great reporters who we all rely on to some degree, but the way they present information — or don’t present it — can be seriously deleterious.
This back and forth I had with the Metro editor of the NYT this weekend is a glimpse at that; to his credit, he ultimately took the criticism.
Well, I don't do "X", so I couldn't see the entire exchange, but it was enough to emphasize my point of contacting the various publications, and letting them know what we think. They may not listen to me, but if enough "me's" contact them regarding a story or subject, they don't have much choice but to acknowledge their skewed viewpoint. I tell everyone, contact them, whether print or TV, and let them know what we think. Numbers will get to them eventually. Happy Sunday, Jordan!
