Recently, Keith Olbermann, on his MSNBC news show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, cited Fox News as the "worst persons in the world." He claimed that the Fox News Channel is blatant ideal-wing propaganda. He also noted that President Obama, in a latest Tv interview (the exact same interview, incidentally, as the now-notorious fly-swatting incident, in which, according to news reports on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN and elsewhere, the President demonstrates his "amazing fly-swatting expertise") claimed that there was at least 1 news channel devoted to undermining his administration at all fees. Olbermann suggests that the President was referring to Fox News.
Back in the day when the Republicans controlled both houses as well as the Presidency, a period that may possibly well go down in history as a modern day-day Dark Ages or Reign of Terror, the Fox News channel was regarded as to be the bastion of credible news. So significantly so that all other news agencies had been too afraid even to question their authority.
Fox News, owned by Australian media magnate Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., had began on the premise that conventional news sources like CNN and network news operated on a principle of a subtle left-wing cultural bias resulting from the educational and social milieu of their journalists. The remedy that Fox News apparently proposed was to dedicate a news channel to supposedly "fair and balanced" news coverage. "Fair and balanced" became their watchword, but it soon proved to be ironic. Over time, their supposedly objective news coverage has been exposed as ideal-wing propaganda that was pretty blatantly pandering to the Bush administration though they had been in power.
This brings us to MSNBC's news lineup. MSNBC is a news channel that is created as a joint venture, as the name suggests, in between Microsoft (the monolithic computer software giant founded by Bill Gates) and NBC. Their lineup of news shows supposedly offers us the alternative to Fox News, but, as implied by Keith Olbermann, what they are actually providing us is left-wing propaganda that panders to the Obama administration.
The tragic consequence of all this government pandering and institutional propaganda is that the number-1 casualty in mainstream news coverage is credibility. Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins of right now, with their spectacular exposs of corruption in high locations? Definitely not at either Fox News or MSNBC.
Perhaps the answer to exactly where we can come across credible news sources lies with CNN-nevertheless bland and presenting the faade of objectivity though concealing a subtle left-wing bias-who now, apparently, resorts to blogs, Twitter feeds and Facebook posts to supplement their on-internet site correspondent reports. CNN even encourages you to submit amateur videos via the "iReport" section on their web page, which enables them to function the videos on their news shows just after a process of vetting and verification. In reality, in the ongoing Iranian uprisings, exactly where mainstream journalists are getting banned and extradited by the authoritarian Iranian regime, western news sources are having to rely on Twitter feeds, blogs and amateur video from Iranian citizens as their news sources.
This brings us to the argument that mainstream news organizations have lately been generating against the Blogsphere, specifically in the wake of such latest films as State of Play, directed by Kevin Macdonald, namely that the Blogsphere is composed primarily of amateurs who are out of their depth, whereas if you are looking for cutting-edge Woodward-and-Bernstein style in-depth reporting, you will come across it only at the key news organizations who have the expertise and resources at their disposal to support that type of news coverage.
The reality-at least two of the so-referred to as key news organizations are devoted to producing partisan propaganda that pretty shamelessly panders to politicians though the third is increasingly resorting to the Blogsphere to provide its news sources. As for Woodward and Bernstein, they are both retired and writing books for a living.
The moral of the story appears to be, consequently, that if you are looking for cutting-edge journalism, skip the news networks and, rather, check out the Blogsphere!
