Has American media lost all perspective?

Brent, please back me up here.

This link came from cablenewser. You and I discussed on a thread before about how cablenewser is viewed by Wolf Blitzer, Roger Ailes, etc.

So, if it can be posted here AT THIS LINK:

viewed by media elites, why was I blasted?????????????????

I have no idea... bloggers are the new thing on the internet. You may not agree with all of them, but they are everywhere now. TVNewser IS a blog.

Right but you have visited this blog many times before right? and you know it to be quite good? that's what I'm saying. I'm talking about the TV newser blog.

I go to TVNewser multiple times a day. I follow ratings and news on the cable news channels closely and I usually find out from him before anywhere else. It's a great blog.

I think what you will find is that news thrives on having something to report. The reason that you typically find that the news focuses on certain stories (such as Natalee Holloway's disappearance) is that the family drives the story. The constant press birrage of the family causes this. I don't think that the media doesn't cover the others because of what they are, it is because of what they lack. So many cases lack the people to get behind the story and make it front page. That is what Natalee's mother and the Rocha family did, along with the Smart family. The reason the three boys were followed so closely is that the family made it their priority to get the info. on the news. There is only so many hours in the day... so much manpower possible to cover stories. They have to choose which ones they cover... and they have to cover ones that have a "story" to them. I think that is why you find this happening.
