    I think it is. I think that for the 1st time in our history, the Network News is totally impotent because people now consider television to be entertainment and the Internet to be information. Am I wrong?

    Doesn't this prove it:

    Nobody takes the 5fth estate seriously enough, and it looks like it has been replaced.

    Do you get your news from television, or do you get it from the Internet, as I do?

    your media is completely controlled. This goes from all tv,magazines,book publishing companies(which means public education),newspapers,...all documentaries in tv and complete control of Hollywood

    The real truth is on the internet,but you will have to determine which sources you should trust.

    We have all been taught false history,and are duped daily by corporate media that is controlled by the Jews,completely!

    Gerald Levin, CEO and Director of AOL Time Warner

    Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company

    Edgar Bronfman, Sr., Chairman of Seagram Company Ltd

    Edgar Bronfman, Jr, President and CEO of Seagram Company Ltd and head of Universal Studios

    Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom, Inc

    Dennis Dammerman, Vice Chairman of General Electric

    Peter Chernin, President and Co-COO of News Corporation Limited

    Those seven Jewish men collectively control ABC, NBC, CBS, the Turner Broadcasting System, CNN, MTV, Universal Studios, MCA Records, Geffen Records, DGC Records, GRP Records, Rising Tide Records, Curb/Universal Records, and Interscope Records.

    Most of the larger independent newspapers are owned by Jewish interests as well. An example is media mogul is Samuel I. "Si" Newhouse, who owns two dozen daily newspapers from Staten Island to Oregon, plus the Sunday supplement Parade; the Conde Nast collection of magazines, including Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Allure, GQ, and Self; the publishing firms of Random House, Knopf, Crown, and Ballantine, among other imprints; and cable franchises with over one million subscribers."

    I coul d add that Michael Eisner could depart Disney tomorrow but the company will remain in the hands of Shamrock Holdings, whose principal office is now located in Israel".

    This is about the media, not racist views.

    Speaking from a personal standpoint, I pretty much get all my information on current events on the internet. I don't know if that makes me more informed or not, but I feel that It's a lot easier to access a lot more information.

    I don't really have time to watch TV, so I suppos I get most of my news from a variety of websites depending on my mood, the free papers you get at the subway, and The Week. Which I really like for providing more in depth information on things and collecting articles from around the world.

    They're all owned by Jews if that matters to you. With the exception of The Washington Examiner.

    I think the internet is an excellent source of information. However it greatly magnifies a growing trend in cable news, which is to create niche sources that lure people in by providing a haven that says every source that doesn't agree with your views is lying, you're right about everything, and proceedes to wrap viewers up in a warm bundle of bias and spin.

    I agree.

    TV News and Internet News are both relevant and both valuable. But they also both have drawbacks.

    As long as you use own your head to filter out all the crap.

    And then, there are reliable providers like consortium news and ahabit, which are very good at exposing the unofficial truth.

    It is perhaps the most fascinating of all topics that could be discussed here because the vast bulk of people's opinions largely stem from the information sources they choose to use .
    Any comments I may have will largely reflect my home position which is the UK .
    I think it is safe to say that TV news here is of a very high standard and probably the most reliable in the world .
    The very system ( let's stick to BBC ) is geared to independence from Government involvement and financial backing -- a licence fee is paid directly to the BBC once you own a set .
    There is no commercial advertising .

    The greatest aid to the system's independence are the British public themselves , whether acting individually or in the context of defined interest or pressure groups .
    Everybody can appeal to an independent body if they believe standards are being compromised or a reporting bias is detected .Let alone a factual error .
    It is a wonderful check on everything and truly means that we self regulate .
    An outsider would find it hard to imagine the rage that is created if any evidence emerges that the slightest improper use is made of taxpayer's money --- that is revenue provided by the license fee .We behave puritanically almost beyond belief .
    When we come to News Papers , I suspect matters are not so simple or clean . There are only The Daily Telegraph , Guardian , I , The Times and Financial Times that are news papers . The remainder are rags or half simple paper and half comic --- The Sun is the best example .
    Papers are in decline as we all know and for well understood reasons . Therefore there are reasons not to accept everything a paper publishes that do not apply to BBC TV or Radio ( which is absolutely brilliant) .
    A paper has an owner who may bias editorial coverage however many times that is officially denied .
    The paper must try to make money because no owner can afford huge losses for too many years . Therefore , there is pressure from the Board , pressure from Share holders , pressure from readers ( direct and indirect) and the risk of pressure from Advertisers .
    Having said all that ,these mentioned papers are outstanding , regardless of political slant .
    An extra worrying concern , however , is that with circulation in decline papers will try not to alienate their market segment and their various biases .
    So we could get part facts and bits that are simply ignored .
    Over time , the more good and reliable such sources you can use , the better it is . This means that you can compare and look for sub text -- the areas that are different and possible explanations for them .
    There is no doubt that the Internet has tremendous extra features -- it is fast , global and almost endlessly diverse .
    The only problem is to weed out the sick , ill , screw loose and deliberate spreaders of misinformation and disinformation .
    Frankly , the only ways of judging reliability and truthfulness are Time and personal recommendations from people whose judgements have proved sound over a period of time .
    I am an avid fan of the Internet . Of course it is riddled with people with problems of mental health . But , there are also many independent authorities , experts and professionals . And matters can stretch out over huge time periods --- no page or TV screen time limits .
    And lastly , your question asks about " News " quite specifically . Papers and TV , due to time limit and the presumed limits of punter attention span , can never offer the breadth and detail that can be found on the Internet .
    Just musing .
