News: Opinions rather then the truth
I have to be completely honest, I never watch the news. I don't know what's going on in the world. I don't know anything about politics, I've just never cared. I've always been more interested in what's going on around me locally, not worldwide. I just never cared to use my free time listening to anchors
twist the truth about what's going on.
In class on tuesday was the first time I actually spent any time watching a whole hour of a cable news commentator. As we know, we all watched Bill O'Reilly. It makes me wonder how people can actually watch this crap and call it news? O'Reilly is so disrepectful to his guests and the news. For example, him attacking his guest speaker and accusing him of saying Bush was in comperacy for 9/11. The guest couldn't even sue for doing that to him and his family. He doesn't give any of his guests a chance to speak their voice or opinions. ITS HIS VOICE OR NO VOICE AT ALL! He tells people to SHUT UP like there's no tomorrow. Last time I checked, that wasn't news. It's to the point where O'Reilly news is garbage when he believes his own lies. He doesn't know his made up lies from his own reality of the truth. So how can we know anything that he is saying can be true? We don't. It's crazy to know FOX news actually backs up Bill O'Reilly on his techniques and continues him to anchor in his rude and untruthful mannerisms.
Then I watched Wolf Bitzner's cable news whom he is the anchorman on CNN news. He is a WAAY more respectable anchorman than Bill O'Reilly. He actually allows his guest speakers their own opinions and the chance to speak their mind about the topic. He seems more knowledgable in his topics to allow people their opinions instead of attacking them as soon as they open their mouth. He actually gets information from his guest speakers, instead of only stating his opinions. So you get to listen to both sides of the story. But as any other news, the truth is distorted to get good ratings. So I refuse to watch any of this crap on my own free will. I don't know how people watch this and actually fall into the mistake of believing their lies as being the truth. I'm glad I don't have time for tv, but if i do it isn't watching these anchors on the "NEWS".
