I think its in our nature
lets say I owned a newspaper, I'd use it to cultivate my views
maybe not report some facts to aggrandize my position
maybe extol others' opinions to dignify mine

for example it happens on the TT all the time

Yes, I believe its true on our level of sharing information, but the original intent of reporting was to be factual, as wouldn't you agree that personal opinion was what gave birth to the OP-ED page.

I think FOX was founded on strictly a business venture, filling a void ( pandering) that the other outlets created by their selective sharing on their beliefs, as gospel, the other end of the spectrum.

One would think that alternative candidates, in this presidential cycle would get more coverage, if you stop and consider the unfavorable ratings of the two party candidates, as it would be historical if an independent won.......
Yet, they abstain for the most part.
To me that is suspect.

I also find their practice of burring a retraction of a front page headline as telling.
They either did it for a personal reason, the original front page story, or their egos are HUGE and FRAIL, and can't stand the SCRUTINY they level against those they write about.

I think folks use to snicker at the Enquirer, but mostly I think they have become that of what they fault in others......

You see that a lot around here, at the TT too Grin

I am also, on a, ‘GUN’ Forum. *(Gee who wouda thought)*

Anyway, in a discussion, about a load, for a, firearm.

" Thanks for the offer but really can't get them due to the law. I live in brazil. In fact like in every socialist place YOU CAN do certain things, like having a 45 Colt, 454 Casull or even a 500 S&W. You just need to be filthy rich and have specific friends, because the paperwork is as expensive as an entry level motorcycle for example, after it's done you must request a permit to purchase the gun (in such caliber or any of those considered restricted), it will be analyzed and the officer may have woken with a foul mood and stamp NO... then you have to wait and try again. Among other stuff. I believe it's easier to deal with BATF so you can figure how things go here.
A piece of brass in the pocket have put a bunch of guys behind the bars here. Yes, just the brass, no load no gun. That’s the law.
…
Things are so stupid here, if I had say a 357 (with Army permit) and shot it in self defense, I'd lose said license and would be sued.. So I'd need a 38/380 for self defense and a 357/45/500/308 to hunt (boars only) and to show my friends at the gun club… "

Well, Their, is a First Hand Account, of, Socialism.
Where only the, ‘Bad’ people, can have a firearm.
So, Brazil, Has a 18.1 per 100,000 people
And the USA has 2.9, per 100,000 people.

But Never mind the Facts. The, ‘Media’, will TELL YOU, what to think !

look to the owners of "the media" using it to spread their views

Can you expand on this, and give us references and example?

Everyone else already posted much better citation.

General Electric purchased NBC in 1986.
How many negative stories about GE have you heard?

How many negative stories about GE have you heard? A point made about the media being controlled. How Westinghouse was killed is something I don't know about. That it was a big loss, I do know about. Was it's being involved with a media company somehow related to its demise ?
