11. The Media Can Legally Lie – Top 25 of 2005

Here. Right here.

I read this article way back when. At the time, I could really just give a crap. I watched Fox, I didn’t really like CNN, just watched whomever had the better soundbite.

Then I read this.

And realized that the news, as a whole, is a farce. Basically, the article says that Fox News is entertainment and doesn’t have to report anything and can say what they want.

Sure, anyone can. They did it when they sues for fraudulent information. They were, like, “No, we’re just entertainment-so we can be fictional.”

I’ve told several of my friends who are conservative about this. They screamed at me as it was a liberal plot to keep them from getting news.

Maybe? Didn’t look at it that way.

So I elected to just not watch the news, outside of the weather (I do live in Florida, after all) and traffic.

And entertainment. E! News daily is more accurate AND has beautiful people that can make a sentence.  I also listen to my friends, liberal and conservative alike.  NPR has yet to really hurt me; Daily Show and Colbert are always high on my list.

My two cents.

Peace,

Roo
