LA LA LA LA LA! I'M NOT LISTENING!

Post by Zaelath »

Fucking liberal media: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293029,00.html
LOS ANGELES — Most mornings, my assistant goes through my e-mail before I do, culling out the ones that are simply vicious, vindictive and mean, so I don’t have to see them.
WTB: assistant to vet threads for me and deliver a VV that's just chock full of my own opinion regurgitated back to me.

As if I'd write email to a Fox journalist. Besides, like you, she can't differentiate between outrage and hate. But then, you do have a lot of trouble with general comprehension, so that's understandable.

At least you read the "hate" and don't hide behind your secretary :)

while it's definitely not the point she intended to make, i think she makes a point.

Democracy, Shmockracy.. our news was censored heavily before the internet..

The cat's out of the bag now, true democracy is possible because of the speed and availability of communications... and yet, they seek only to destroy it and maintain the status quo.

We exercise our powers on the internet... We are free to throw tv news in the shitter and seek out our own sources, free to voice our own thoughts, or even become reporters. It is possible for one man to single-handedly change the course of an election with a well timed investigative exposure.

As for the hate... passion is a virtue too.... BUT IT WASN'T ON YOUR LIST!!! :(

I'm not sure I follow..

Certainly the volume of information we can get about events is much greater and the filters that are applied to it much less (on average), but really... someone from Faux News being surprised that they piss people off with the particular filter they choose to apply is a little farcical.

As to me being a hater, I don't have that kind of energy. I think passion is the right word at times... as I won't deny I passionately disagree with some views here, but I've never played the RL PK card and doubt anyone has the l33t skillz to push me that far ;p

I don't see where the surprise is. I also don't see why it matters. If someone is getting hate mail, why should they read it? Also, if you're not watching their shows, why do you care? It's not like they are using their email to determine what they report on.

Apparently they're reporting directly on their email. Besides which, if you repeat something often enough idiots start to believe it, "You're an idiot", "I love your work", "fair and balanced", etc. So by refusing to listen to whatever passes for hate mail in their office, she gets a skewed perspective. But that's ok, it's a job requirement.

those "anchors" are a bigger joke than most...watch their stories if you want to have a good chuckle. I do that for the same reason I will tune in to the Savage Nation on AM once every few months.
