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.
