I want to hear about the EVENTS. The "analysis" part of newscasts I just tune out.

Also, I pick my newscasts carefully. For example, I won't watch CNN, Fox, MSNBC and I try to avoid the other big three (CBS, NBC, ABC). Unfortunately, SeeBS just bought the independent channel I was enjoying for news.

I like Google News online, but it doesn't cover much local stuff.

I think the news should be limited to the FACTS and small words, and that sensationalist reporting be outlawed. Not to mention, any news reporter with an opinion ought to keep it to themselves because I'd like to make up my own mind, not listen to theirs.

There is this one channel in L.A. called Channel 5, and the one newscast guy does a good job. He reports the news (FACTS), and then later has a "Commentary" section where he gives his opinion of the news, and they are very clear it's a Commentary because they announce it as such. Too bad its only one station that does this.

Well, the news media has certainly gone from: "We report the facts." to "We make up the facts in the absence of same because there's nothing else to report.".

Another reason why I take my 8:00 news with a 5 pound block of salt, and don't beleive a word they say.


Then why do you continue to watch. The best way to stop someone is stupid banter if you do not have the power to physically stop is just to not listen to the point of not even re-iterating it to others.

Do you want make the major media outlets smarter so they can come up with more sophisticated ways to lie? :uhh: ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796675 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 16:16:31 EDT Re: Wow http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796591 Karl Bode : Feet, yeah sorry...my bad. That was my though too -- kids probably got bored with Pictochat on day two....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796591 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 16:05:22 EDT Re: Wow http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796579 Battousai1 : 300 feet actually :p. They were in a pretty open area for testing though, through walls or moving cars I imagine it'd be cut down from that.

Pictochat doesn't use the friend code system from what I understand, but even then it's a 1-in-a-million shot that a pedophile happens to have a DS, kid(s) have a ds with pictochat open (not playing a game), and they're in range.

I highly doubt most of the kids that have a DS even care about pictochat. Their comment about a pedo seeing a kid from their moving car and typing to them is stupid as well, how are you supposed to drive and do that at the same time?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796579 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 16:03:14 EDT Re: Wow http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796531 Karl Bode : DS has to be on, Pictochat has to be open, evil pedophile has to be within 300 yards, and then I think there's some degree of the kid having to authorize him as a buddy....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796531 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 15:53:58 EDT Re: Wow http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17796505 DHRacer : Well, the news media has certainly gone from: "We report the facts." to "We make up the facts in the absence of same because there's nothing else to report.".
