I’ve been calling news stations and newspapers all over the state today. About 10% of the calls I’ve actually gotten through to a person and most of those stopped at clerks who are incapable of taking a message. I tried speaking to Jason (please let his boss see this) at Houston’s KHOU who was too rude to even take down my information and when I said I’ll call another tv station he hung up.
My eyes have been opened today. I am shocked at how many newspapers and tv stations are merely getting their stories from AP rather than actually going out and researching what they’re reporting. We all know AP isn’t reliable but the local media is happy reguritating lies and shoddy reporting to the sheeple. They can’t even be bothered with looking at the true facts on a particular business’ web site. At an Austin news station, the woman did manage to get to the site but couldn’t understand the simple pie chart and said she could only report what the business spokesperson told her. Hey, I’m the Queen of England but don’t bother taking 5 minutes to check the facts that prove I’m not. I’ll eat that pie chart if she didn’t vote RAT.
I learned long ago that in Science one does not deal with "truth" (tautologies aside), rather facts are observed and hypotheses are developed, etc....
The media has for a long time now not been interested in either "facts" or "truth."
Would you?
