MSM should go to a mirror and utter this phrase - [ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#5)
by Anonymous User on Tue Jun 26, 2007 at 11:38:30 AM PDT

Printed MSM very well could utter one of the most memorable quotes ever to grace their pages. Walt Kelly said it rightly through his comic strip POGO "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us".

Much of the MSM "news articles" ARE injected with personal opinions, comments and even snide remarks by the reporter. I cannot remember the last time I read an article in a "newspaper" that was a clean news article.

I propose that the MSM newspapers and even most magazines are in decline and facing oblivion precisely because they allow their reporters to express personal opinion and add paranthetical comments to "news" articles without disclosing the content as such.

The net result of this is that it becomes too tedious to read through the alledged news article removing the injected opinion and comments to get to the facts; consequently, people choose not to waste their money and time.
