Entry #3 Reporting is dead..R.I.P
What is slanted reporting? Some of you may ask. By definition it is considered reporting bias, and selective reporting. This is the act of presenting one side of the story with a little bit more flavor(That Flavor being biased yum). One great example of this is when the great, half human half genius Nancy Grace interviewed 2Chainz. Heres a little clip...ok really here's the clip. We clearly see how biased Nancy is...more like her production team. We can see how biased Nancy Grace is and no matter how good the rebuttal is she will not acknowledge the point being made. Circular reasoning much? Never go full potato! So this arises the question of why go full potato on TV? All this is done to appeal to their audience. Rhetoric anyone? These networks do a very good job at knowing their demographics. You know considering its their job and all. This is done by mostly all networks. Whether they try and appeal to Liberal Liz or Redneck Randall they have a target market in mind. So obviously one cannot blame acts of stupidity on the marijuana, yet they still do. They know this is what the audience wants. Reporters must report the news; not the news their audience wants to hear. The commercialization of the news is to blame...
