You could ask us all what we think she meant, but the best person to ask this is her. You can leave a comment underneath her post. She’ll probably tell you.

Or if you aren’t her friend, you can also send her a message.

Since when does “Our world is falling apart” count as news? Nothing is new about it. What is news is how fast it is and what is sinking us deeper into chaos.

Ok nobody here actually answered the question, good job you guys. Lately, the only big things have been a terrorist attack that was thwarted, originally planned to hit a subway station in NY, Haiti disaster, and the fact that soon China will be in control of like 60% of the world’s GDP(Gross Domestic Product) If that isn’t the scariest thing to you, oh man are you in the dark.

Actually that has been going on since like forever. The news people should be thought of as trolls but with a larger avenue of access to the people. A troll on Y!A does it for the attention and the news trolls does it for attention but with the added possibility that some will support his or her sponsor(s). If you are young you should not watch the news, you should live your life to have a little fun and also develop skills etc so you will know you are worth something to somebody or to some thing or whatever.

Global Research is an excellent independent news site

Information Clearing House is good too. The focus is narrower than Global Research

It’s often hard to find that as the latest news is presented to be as dramatic and shocking as possible before any official investigations have even started….The concept of news itself is maybe biased towards our endless fascination to witness suffering, explosions, disasters etc..
There is a limit to what they can show to the general public via the mainstream, so online searches for truth should be aimed more at the topic and the investigations rather than any popular media source..
Sites such as Rense.com are often interesting.

Comment on What is the purpose of news? Do you think in today’s time the news is doing what its intention is? by Mr Warrior

You try putting a whole countries news, as well as international news into a half hour show.
And at the same time, keep everyone happy in terms of what they want to hear and what they dont.

Its impossible.

There is two sides to every story. Producers of news programs struggle daily as to what they should air, what is popular to air , what is necessary to air, what has to be aired, whether they air something and what reaction it has from viewers. As well as fit in sponsored commercials (which everyone hates) that pays for the news show to be produced.
Keeping in mind, in that hakf a hour show. Ten minutes is taken up by sport and weather. Possibly another five minutes of sponsored commercials.
So there goes 15 minutes of the news show already, without even telling anyone any news.

Feel like being a news show producer?…………

As i said, its impossible to keep everyone happy in regards to what they want to hear.

I could go on……….After all that. The producer also has bosses and network bosses they have to report to. Questioned as to why they did not show a particular news story and lost ratings to another network.

So your copping it from the viewers for not telling every news story in the country in a half hour show , as well as international news. And your copping it from behind, by you network bosses because of ratings.

What you want to hear you have to google. Its the only way. Because prime time news can not fit all that news in a half hour show OR an hour show.
In fact, if they told you every news story there was, it would be a 24 hour show, running around the clock without stopping.

Ask yourself how much despair and bad news do you want. Because quite simply, all news is bad news.
Your not going to hear how your neighbour planted roses on a sunny day.
Your going to hear about war, rapes , car accidents, volcanoes, terrorism or any other million bad things.

And even if they did do all that that you request, then you would be complaining you can not understand the news reporter. You dont like their hairstyle. You dont like their makeup. His/her nose is too big.
Blah blah blah!

Just do what everyone else does. Buy a newspaper and read it at your own pace.
