In order to make informed judgment one must be informed. The main stream media often ignores stories that do not promote the worldview that they have or desire. Yet it is a basic concept of journalism to inform.
I often consider what is “popular news,” one thing that comes to mind is popular news is news that effects a lot of people. Storms in California that cause interruptions to activities of millions of people would be a popular news story. A parade in a city would be a popular story within that city. Actions in Washington that change the life style of Americans and effect and commerce of the US would be a popular story. Overturning Roe vs Wade would have an impact on millions another example of a popular news story.
There are many stories that the main stream media just does not report … the change in political physiology of Massachusetts was nearly missed … The millions who demonstrate against abortion.
Now the worldwide political implosion of the global warming alarmist is taking place and those who rely and trust main stream media are in the dark. If people were polled about what countries support taking action those who say watch CNN would get it very wrong.
American Thinker has interested information about this implosion:
Global warming science implodes overseas: American media silent
The revelations have been nothing short of jaw dropping. Dozens – yes dozens – of claims made in the IPCC 2007 report on climate change that was supposed to represent the “consensus” of 2500 of the world’s climate scientists have been shown to be bogus, or faulty, or not properly vetted, or simply pulled out of thin air.
We know this because newspapers in Great Britain are doing their job; vetting the 2007 report item by item, coming up with shocking news about global warming claims that formed the basis of argument by climate change advocates who were pressuring the US and western industrialized democracies to transfer trillions of dollars in wealth to the third world and cede sovereignty to the UN.
Glaciergate, tempgate, icegate, and now, disappearing Amazon forests not the result of warming, but of logging. And the report the IPCC based their bogus “science” on was written by a food safety advocate according to this Christopher Booker piece in the Telegraph :
This is course just one issue … the major media corporations have been filtering the news across many social issues. Many times trying to paint a Christian worldview as an “extremist” out of the main stream world view (like how they portray Palin). Look with an eye for what viewpoint they have and one can see a secular progressive bent. Little do those who trust the media realise is that Palin is one of the most popular political figures to normal Americans. Normal being that which is norm. They may if asked say Reid is popular slowly say yes (although they know he will face a difficult if not impossible reelection), LOL he is not even popular in his own state.
