Great op-ed on the sorry state broadcast news in the US. This link was found via Metafilter.

  1. Well written. I would agree that the US news media (or, for that matter, news media in general) has a number of disappointing traits. But couldn’t the title have a little more tact?

  2. I don’t think the title needs anymore tact. For me it perfectly expresses the disgust I feel whenever subjected to the ways most people get their news.

  3. I think the point of the title was to grab attention.

  4. The title does need more tact since the hostility is directed towards the victim. Why isn’t the title “Fuck Media Bias” or “Fuck Racism”? Presumably because the author confuses being edgy with being juvenile.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
