wrote in message ... Then why quote what politicians say as if the media said it? Why not actually quote what the media said? In general, the media (especially CNN by the way) holds GA in a bad light in case you have not noticed. My question remains. Why did you quote politicians if your target is the media? The CNN/MSNBC was a typo... You know... a mistake... Though by reading the article it sure stinks of CNN... In other words, you make mistakes too. You're still saying CNN/MSNBC but quoting politicians instead of, oh, say, CNN or MSNBC. When there is a GA accident, the media crawls all over looking for the most ignorant person they can find and give them the spotlight. No, they really don't. This smacks of black helicopter conspiracy theory and unfounded generalization. Show me a single directive where any news source ever has said "go find the most ignorant person they can find." What I'll do is, in the meantime, refer to CNN flying an Actual Cirrus along the Actual Course last night which, by the way, I suspect you yourself have not done. To compound the blatent disregard of journalistic responsibility of the media, they hand the mic over to the politicians to spew their re-election garbage... Please describe and cite this alleged journalistic "responsibility." -c |

My question remains. Why did you quote politicians if your target is the
media? I quoted the article from MSNBC.... VERBTIM. In other words, you make mistakes too. You're still saying CNN/MSNBC but quoting politicians instead of, oh, say, CNN or MSNBC. I never claimed I do not make mistakes. When there is a GA accident, the media crawls all over looking for the most ignorant person they can find and give them the spotlight. No, they really don't. This smacks of black helicopter conspiracy theory and unfounded generalization. Show me a single directive where any news source ever has said "go find the most ignorant person they can find." You have got to be kidding me... shaking head What I'll do is, in the meantime, refer to CNN flying an Actual Cirrus along the Actual Course last night which, by the way, I suspect you yourself have not done. Nope. It's on the other side of the country from me. To compound the blatent disregard of journalistic responsibility of the media, they hand the mic over to the politicians to spew their re-election garbage... Please describe and cite this alleged journalistic "responsibility." There are many sources available that will describe this. Try a google search and see for yourself... -- Mike Flyin'8 PP-ASEL Temecula, CA http://flying.4alexanders.com |

I have a degree in journalism and a I'm a former magazine and radio news editor. Be that as it may, I will never be required to back your claims up for you.

source have ever sent a reporter to "find the most ignorant person--" Hey...waitaminnit...you just said you don't even WATCH THE NEWS. Huh??? Not me....

Funny... I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing when you asked me to define Journalistic Responsibility. I am done here... -- Mike Flyin'8 PP-ASEL Temecula, CA http://flying.4alexanders.com |

Well, unfortunately, I'm going to have to expose you as either a liar or memory-challenged. Because, on the 12th you wrote: "The company I work for had a plane crash many years ago in the Midwest and the media took off and ran whatever they wanted to say with total disregard for the family members of some of the crash victims. It was then that I lost total respect for the media and since then I have never intentionally sat down to watch the news." So which is it? You don't watch the news, or you only watch it by accident, or what? How would you like to change your story, Senator? Be that as it may, I will never be required to back your claims up for you. In the real world, we do our own homework. Funny... I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing when you asked me to define Journalistic Responsibility. You're the one that brought up the term "journalistic responsibility," not me. You shouldn't use words and terms you can't define if you expect to be taken seriously. I am done here... I bet you are. -c |
