HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE NETWORK NEWS LATELY?
2/03/07
I have been browsing the networks for some relevant news recently and haven’t found any. I noticed the national network news programs have copied each other . Except for the anchor person the news is identical, and even commercials are identical and played at the exact same times. If you change the station to another news broadcast advertisers have insured themselves; that you are going to see the exact same ad you were trying to escape from by changing the channel.
I consider it frightening, that billions of dollars are spent by these news networks every year to create some semblance of real news reporting. For the last several years I have seen nothing on network news that was news. Since Katie’s arrival on CBS I have totally ignored that station. Even it’s regular programming is an insult to anyone’s intelligence.
As I read, watch and listen to numerous news sources, to find a few unique stories for my radio programs, I have discovered that network news has become completely irrelevant. All the network news programs have become carbon copies with different letterhead. The same lead stories someone reports from the front of the White House or Capital with the exact same news leaked to them from an anonymous White House, Congress or Pentagon source. Someone reports from war torn Iraq with the exact same embedded, and authorized news. There is nothing worth listening to. Everything is twisted into absolute pabulum and all the programs end with some human interest story about a paraplegic hero not denouncing Bush or the War, and always some happy monkey or affectionate carnivore du jour. The cable news programs are even less believable. CNN has the same news and ads as all the networks, except they keep playing the same thing over and over again for 24 hours. Ads for Viagra, Cyalis , Lipitor and men’s prostrate problems take up half of the program time. The drug companies must own the networks. MSNBC is NBC just a different anchor but the same reports. Every pundit on every station is an obnoxious buffoon. The more obnoxious they are the better their ratings are. As soon as a tornado or hurricane occurs in the U.S all we get for news is 24 hrs of the same pictures of destroyed houses and buildings. Pictures released from the Associated Press and a few interviews with toothless people. This is the total extent of American network news coverage. Has anyone heard about the 100,000 deaths in Indonesia due to a recent flood. I had to read about it on the internet. No mention on national network news.
I’m about to give up my cable subscription. I have come to the realization that anything worth listening to or watching is on the internet and some radio programs. Print media is worthless as well. All the major papers and magazines are owned by Rupert Murdock or affiliated with the major networks. All publishing houses and movie studios are owned by the networks as well. The only free source of information comes directly from the internet and even the internet is slowly being censored.
The New World Order is becoming obvious. Censorship and the fabrication of facts in news reporting is the most powerful weapon used by dictators. How long will it be before people like myself are silenced or censored? How much longer will free speech be allowed in the U.S? How much more nonsense will the American people accept from the television networks in place of real reporting of the national and international news? Network news is the most unreported crime in the nation. Every network television news program, including Sixty Minutes, Dateline, Nightline, and CNN Special Reports, are nothing more than distractions and entertainment for all of the macabre, pedophilic , sadistic, dieting , addicted, medically and mentally impaired, who honestly believe that network news programs are really giving them the news.
