Entry 8 - 12th June 2003 - News or Opinions?
CoLdShIvA Started conversation Jun 12, 2003
One thing that I find particularly annoying, recently, is the pre-occupation newspapers and television news programmes have to give their opinions on the news. To me, it appears that when I open a newspaper or turn on my television to learn about the news, I find nothing but opinion.
The news agencies have their "opinions" on sport, their "opinions" on politics, their "opinions" on the Royal Household and, basically, their "opinions" on pretty much anything else.
Perhaps I'm just an old man at heart (early thirties is *not* that old), but when I turn on the news or open a newspaper I want *NEWS* reported to me. I want the facts, the quotes, the pictures but *not* the reporters' nor the news agency's opinions at all.
If I want an opinion, I'll ask family or friends. If I want an opposing opinion I'll go on the net and chat to some body who holds a different opinion.
Please, anybody that can hear, a campaign should be made for *REAL* news. When even respected broadsheets tell me what they think of a news story, in the middle of that story, then it must be time for a change?
