Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2017228, member: 6118"] We agree in our stomach 's turn. My opinion and belief is as I stated it --in terms of how reporting is done--Since, again opinion, Walter Cronkite began putting himself into the Vietnam news, the industry got more and more--away from just giving the fact--and allowing us to make up our own minds, to giving the sad looks and sad expressions with equal volumen or less to emote--. I can tell you from the graduates of local Universites that run through our TV station--these are journalist from a jounalism class (es) graduates--apparent 40 percent of the school is acting classes. The written word is a bit better but still full of personal opinions. Do they have Report er courses? Naa there is no money in that. As to the opinion of definition (I never used the word) of each--i pretty much stick by what that industry has heaped upon us as NEWS you pick the media--it does not matter --It would appear that both TV and paper Reporting is going the way of the horse buggy. The internet with all it's falsehoods apparently are the modern way to view what's happening--with much worse personalizations. Agree to dis agree!! I am neither a journalist nor a report--I'm an observer. How i long for the old yellow rags, that you knew, and proper reporting. [/QUOTE]
