The Media - "Get Ready To Shiver..."
Here's a nicely written article about how the media portrays certain things VERY inaccurately.
They accept the word of certain groups as absolute truth without verification; while, at the same time, disregarding and disparaging other groups who don't fit their agenda.
If they continue to disappoint those of us with the money to buy their products, they will lose us.
And I doubt those that survive on entitlements can pick up the slack...

Dr. Gina Louden includes these paragraphs in her writing at BigJournalism.com:
"Why is there no accountability when the media reports such things about real people? Why is there no outcry for photos, or video proof of all they say? And why is there no critical eye cast on the group making baseless accusations? And why is there no MSM follow up when what was errantly reported turns out to be false?"
"Consumers are indirectly responsible for this double standard in journalism. If audiences don’t demand accountability, this problem will get worse because the left will know they can get away with making baseless accusations, and will continue their yellow journalism.
Whether or not consumers demand honesty, one thing is for sure. There is a growing, grumbling, surging group of conservatives out there who are not going away. Their passion is billowing, and their conviction propels them. They won’t back down. They are defiantly committed because they believe their country is wounded. They are training and learning and multiplying each day. They have cameras sprouting out of pockets like straw on a scarecrow."
