I share this message to the media with you today not for political reasons, but because there is some serious media bias going on.
I went to broadcasting school in the US and England. Enforced heavily in both schools are journalistic values. But where are those values now? Why are journalists and news organizations not following them? Where is the watch dog?
I have lost respect for the US media. The press should not “endorse” a candidate. I can give a negative 2 cents about whose endorsing who – I’m not paying to hear, read or see your endorsements. All I want is the news and to have it be unbiased. Toss in some unbiased political coverage from all the political parties and you can really shine. I’m also not interested in your flagrant stories, features or coverage. Is that really a hard thing to do when the net is full of free blogs for you to share your personal views? Come on reporters.
So what does this all come down to? That I am hurt. As a broadcaster, I am now just labeled as part of the clan which broadcasts their bias. I take offense to that because I am very careful not to! It’s not the time or place for my bias when I’m a reporter or broadcaster. The time and place is in a bar, around the dinner table and on my blog with hosting paid for by me, not a company.
I’m sorry if this seems to be another political post, it’s not intended to be. It is meant for me to vent my frustration at the mainstream media in America. (Politically, America has over 301,139,947 people… and this is what we’re left to choose from? I should at-least be entitled to fair representations of all the candidates I’m not thrilled about.)
Thank-you American Media, if I had the time I’d draw a big eff you sign.
PS: Isn’t it sad that an organization has formed to tell and watch the news of the news? Check out their weekly podcast, it’s pretty sweet.
