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."

I quoted the article from MSNBC.... VERBTIM.

I never claimed I do not make mistakes.

You have got to be kidding me... shaking head

Nope. It's on the other side of the country from me.

There are many sources available that will describe this. Try a google
search and see for yourself...

No, I assure you I mean it. Show me a single directive where any news
source have ever sent a reporter to "find the most ignorant person--"

Hey...waitaminnit...you just said you don't even WATCH THE NEWS.

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. In the real world, we do our own homework.

Huh??? Not me....

Funny... I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing when you asked me to define
Journalistic Responsibility.


I am done here...

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.

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.
