CBSNBCABCCNNETC = No credibilty. It really is a waste of time to watch them. More and more people are catching on to this fact.
So, does CBS have to pay AP for using a made up story?
Chalko-full-of-nuts.
You have a point.
AlBore is deeply saddened :(
bump.
that is a surprise
NBC and MSNBC
NOT
I was at the docs yesterday waiting for surgery , anyway while in the waiting room they had NBC on.
My wife asked me where I was going to sit and I said anywhere away from that utter garbage on the TV, I have no desire to watch this channel degrade themselves rooting and cheerleading for Obama, Wouldn’t be bad if they could actually tell the truth about politics for a change
well one guy nodded if he agreed and a girlie guy from up north(seems many of them are nowadays,) looked with disgust
at me.
ARF
Anyway I talked to a lady yesterday and told her about Obama doubt her and her family will be voting for him now
Razor sharp journalistic instincts. Takes years to hone. You amateurs will never be able to match da pros.
I still have this link to the original story.
Astral travel, well how special. Doodoodoodoodoodoodoodooo........
She’s a real beaut.
Professional journalists aren’t much better than professional teachers these days. The best J-schools teach people how to “rip and read” and the “5 Ws”; even how to “construct” a story (inverted pyramid).
But it’s all about form and not substance. Kids are taught what to think without ever being taught how to think. Most people these days - especially the MTV crowd - couldn’t alphabetically sort 10 random names from a phone book if pressed to do so.
Most news writers in most TV newsrooms do nothing more than change a few words from copy they pulled from a newspaper, wire story or website without ever once asking if it could be true. Their job is to get the product on the air, not worry about the veracity of the words they put in the prompter.
How do I know this?
I’ve been working in TV news for almost 30 years.
The bottom line is that there is very little you can trust in newspapers or on TV these days.
As for seismic activity, I’m pretty sure that if everyone in China was to jump up and down in a precise sequence, that the entire Earth would crack in two.
There are three kinds of greenhouse gases: 1) water vapor - which is by far the most common, and natural; 2) carbon dioxide; and 3) methane. The “man-made” global warming morons focus on CO2, which is present in the atmosphere to the extent of 380 parts per million. Horrors! This is up from 320 ppm about 50 years ago, and they say it is all due to evil capitalists driving cars and burning wood in their ski condo fireplaces. The UN’s Kyoto Agreement and legislation proposed by socialists (both parties) in Congress will of course save the world.
The fact is, no one knows if the 60 ppm increase is all due to human activity. And know one knows if it is really a threat. More than likely, it is a minor blip compared to the activity of the sun, and its impact on our climate. What is known, is that normal precipitation (i.e., weather) on earth offsets the warming effect of greenhouse gases, making the earth very comfortable, thank you. Normal weather acts as a thermostat vs. normal water vapor.
I suggest reading “Climate Confusion” by Roy W. Spencer, and also “Unstoppable Global Warming -Every 1,500 Years” by Fred Singer & Dennis Avery. The first is superb. The second presents a theory that the sun’s cycles of activity are the main cause of cooling and warming periods on earth, happening about every 1,500 years.
It says he’s a doctor, so what he says must be true. What more fact-checking could you possibly need?
