Review of fox news morning show::What happened to kam carman? has she left fox 2 - Ask ...
Recently there has been a wave of news gaffes that could make one speculate if these are honest mistakes or dirty little tricks. Let's start with the the latest, from CNN which occurred during Wolf Blitzer's broadcast of "The Situation Room". During a preview for the show, there was a segment to be aired about the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders. When a graphic appeared with the face of Bin Laden, it said "Where is Obama"?, obviously referring to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, instead of Osama the terrorist. The next morning, after several blogs, The Daily Kos and Raw Story called foul, Wolf apologized profusely for CNN and said he would call Senator Obama personally. Instances like this one are more serious than they appear. Once you see an image of Osama with the name "Obama" in front of it, it can plant a seed in the subconscious that links the two - basically, someone who hates America. Another recent case of mind manipulation came during the 2006 campaign for Congress. In Maryland, where Democrat Ben Cardin was facing off against Republican Michael Steele, Steele's campaign released signs and campaign material that read "STEELE" over the word "Democrat". They were very clever because it meant if you're a Democrat voting for Michael Steele, you might want a bumper sticker saying "Steele Democrat" but when it says "STEELE democrat", it sounds like his party affiliation. This was a trick meant to confuse people in a heavily blue state. During the Mark Foley scandal which roiled the outgoing Republican leadership and overshadowed their last session in Congress, Fox News flashed an interesting graphic during the "O'Reilly Factor". As it showed video of Mark Foley, underneath it said "Mark Foley - D (Democrat) -FL"... Foley is a Republican. This error was shown again on a later broadcast and it wasn't until the next day that is was even acknowledged. Again, this plants a seed in peoples mind to associate one thing with something else. In this case, it suggested this was Democrat scandal. Many people who don't pay close attention to political figures may not have known Foley's party affiliation. Another term journalists sometimes use during an interview is "Some might say...." when asking a question or making statement. It's a way for the journalist to get their own two cents in. Some political pundits and news anchors just make false statements only to retract them later. That is not right, because news should be totally objective in the first place. For example, on September 21st, 2005, Brit Hume of Fox News asserted that President George H. W. Bush never criticized President Bill Clinton while Clinton was in office. This was to draw contrast between the two because Clinton has criticized the current President George W. Bush many times. That was completely false, and only after MediaMatters.org (news watch dog site) pointed it out did Hume retract what he said. Obviously there are many people behind the scenes gathering information, but errors like this are not accidental. I applaud blogs and watchdog sites like Media Matters who sound the alarm when false information is presented as fact. Cable news in America has become so opinion based and subjective that it's no wonder our country is so divided. Why is it that we tend to dwell on one thing and nothing else? Mark Foley was on every every cable news show for two straight weeks. For an entire Summer the country was riveted by Natalee Halloway, as if she was the only missing person in the world. Out of all the missing people who could have benefited from just a fraction of the airtime, we gave unlimited coverage to this beautiful, blond, young missing girl.... Hmmm, beautiful, blond, young girl... OK, I get it now. We gravitate to what we want to hear, which is also why you see channels like Fox News going to the right, and MSNBC moving more to the left. They are so concerned with ratings that they want to keep certain audiences. Shows with political pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, Sean Hannity and Joe Scarborough outnumber fact based news. If you take a few days and watch the BBC or The News Hour w/ Jim Lehrer, you will see the contrast is clear. Stories are not picked based on what the audience may or may not want to see. They breeze thru news topics to cover a broader range of information. It is much more objective than American cable news. |

Review of fox news live coverage::Where can I watch the news live online
When looking to the internet for your news, it is common to find reports which are recaps of stories found on CNN Live or CNN Live Stream, MSNBC, CBS News, and Fox News. What sometimes goes unnoticed, however, are the issues of what you are reading being original or not. We automatically assume that what we are reading on the internet (at least in news fashion) is reliable enough, a common internet mistake. When pseudo-journalists lack integrity, all it takes is a few simple word changes to narrowly escape being identical to another's published story. Regardless of how thinly disguised, this is still plagiarism. This isn't a new crime, but requires further attention. The recent MSNBC Live story about Kendrick Meek being covered is one example of how you cannot trust your internet journalists as much as you'd hope. MSNBC Live Firstly, the reader should note that you can check out any information on MSNBC Live at their website, MSNBC TV. This would likely be the best (and firsthand) source of information on their coverage. The Story on MSNBC: Kendrick Meek vs. Marco Rubio If you check out the article by USA Post on USS Post, you'll read about the encounter on MSNBC Live between Democrat running for Senate, Kendrick Meek and Daily Rundown host Chuck Todd. If you hadn't seen the show, you'd gather what had happened easily: Todd was calling into question whether or not Meek was more or less, inadvertently, securing a win for the Republican Marco Rubio. Now this alone is an interesting topic and story, and certainly one relevant to Florida voters, but this is not our story. No, our story is about the "entertainment" aspect around reporting-- the media. MSNBC Live Rehashed on Mediaite: Their Report Plagiarized? Head to Mediaite and see this article by Frances Martel. Note the date and the time. October 11, 2010, 8:17 PM. Now revisit the USS Post story. Note the writer, "USA Post"-- more of a title than a name; in journalism, this is a sign of not necessarily being trustworthy or legitimate. Then we come to the date stamp-- October 13, 2010. Now read the breakdown of these two stories. They are nearly identical. Almost shamelessly, the apparently plagiarizing author for USS Post even uses some of the same nuances in phrases we can only assume originated with Martel. It is obvious even from the first sentence(s): Martel's Version: "MSNBC Daily Rundown hosts Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie attempted to stage a bit of an intervention with Democratic Florida Senate candidate and current Rep. Kendrick Meek, but from the sound of their questions, you'd be forgiven if you mistook Meek for Ross Perot." USA Post's Version: "Msnbc Live, Daily Rundown MSNBC host Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie tried to stage a little intervention with Florida Democratic Senate candidate and Rep. Kendrick Meek underway, but from the sound of their questions, you should be forgiven if you take Meek for Ross Perot." As you can see, despite slight differences (including a lesser grasp on proper English for the latter), these are just dissimilar enough to perhaps escape certain plagiarism checks-- meanwhile, somebody is getting paid for this content churning. Lesson learned: you may not want to trust USA Post or USS Post, and unfortunately, when it comes to the internet media, you must take everything-- including implied integrity-- with a grain of salt. By the way, check out Martel's piece for the better written version, as well as an actual video of the encounter which was the subject of the report. Frances Martel, MSNBC Host To Florida Dem Rep. Kendrick Meek: 'Can You Live With Your Role In' Marco Rubio Win?, Mediaite USA Post, Msnbc Live, USS Post MSNBC TV |

Review of fox 35 news::How to Contact Fox News?
Review of fox 35 news::How to Contact Fox News?
There are many ways to find news headlines to write an article about. You have instant access to headlines using front pages to sites like Yahoo or Google News. But if you want to be a regional news writer or just want to find interesting headlines for a particular region you might need to do a little digging. You might also find that by the time you have taken the time to find the headlines on some of the bigger sites other people here or elsewhere on the web have already written an article and beat yours. I am going to give you a few tips that will hopefully help you in your news writing endeavors and which may help you to beat out other people who normally get the story before you do. Subscribe to News Paper Headlines via E-mail - Currently I subscribe to several different newspaper's daily headlines emails. This gives me a chance to sort through the news stories from the serious and breaking news to the funny and off beat news stories. Currently I have been using The Boston Globe, The Union Leader out of New Hampshire, The Eagle Tribune out of Massachusetts, The Orlando Sentinel and The Miami Herald. If you want to use the one's I am using, go ahead! What I may not find a story worth writing about you may. Big cities offer more headlines compared to smaller newspapers. I also have headlines e-mailed to me from another newspaper from North Conway, New Hampshire, but I don't really get much out of that one except what's going on in North Conway. If you are into writing sensational news articles, you might want to choose something like The New York Post. If you want to write business news or news about stocks you might want to choose The Wall Street Journal. Either way the headlines come out pretty early, usually before 6AM, and that gives you a chance to get the top headlines really early. Watch the news - This has to be one of the simplest tips I could give you. I have been a news junkie all my life, and it comes from the fact that every night my parents would sit us in front of the tv at around 5PM to watch the local news stations. My parents wanted us to be exposed to the world around us and what was going on in it. So now I watch the news on WOFL Fox 35 here in Florida. This proved very beneficial for me when I noticed a small 15 second piece about a little girl in Illinois finding marijuana in her Happy Meal box. I wrote my article Child Finds Marijuana in Her McDonald's Happy Meal because I like to watch the weird headlines at the end of the news hour to see if there is anything worth writing about. It has turned out to be my best article to date as far as page views go and after it went live helped me to get the most page views I have had per page view update. Whether it is watching the big stations like CNN and MSNBC or just catching your local early news or late news you will get an idea of the days headlines or the headlines that will be big in the morning. Listen to the Radio - This is pretty easy. AM radio usually has a good amount of talk news shows and you can listen to those for headlines. In Orlando, Florida I listen to REAL RADIO 104.1 for the talk hosts to talk about headlines of the day. Even though the station is famous for it's raunchy talk they also talk about headlines and I have received good ideas from it. If you have Sirius or XM Satellite Radio subscriptions you can listen to the various news talk stations on there and even National news stations like FOX News and CNN. I have XM and listen to the Emergency Alert 24/7 channel on channel 247. This station doesn't just provide Amber Alerts and information about local emergency situations, they provide information on product recalls and major breaking news across the country and around the world sometimes. They also provide breaking weather news and traffic news if a serious situation arises in the US and parts of Canada, usually around the US border. |
