Major Media "Making" News
As in, if you don't get the story you want, manufacture one. The second "Latest News" headline from the top at CNN.com reads "Gore's prize splits opinion" as though the media company is simply reporting worldwide responses to the Nobel committee's decision. But when you click on the item, you read, "CNN.com asked readers to share their thoughts on the Nobel Prize, global warming and Gore's selection. The response was overwhelming..." after which CNN reprints entries from its own comment stream "edited for length and clarity," giving the first two slots to readers who said, " What a disgraceful choice..." and "I can only imagine how upset Bill "looking for my legacy" Clinton is that he didn't win it."
And this is where millions of voters will turn for "information" about the candidates in next year's Presidental election. Ugh!
