Entry #3 Slanted Reporting

Today's news reporters don't actually report current events. Well they do cover the story but not as much detail as what happen. Reporters care more about catching the viewers (audience) attention than covering actual facts, and why blame them. Many people now a days like watching reality shows than the history or discovery channel. They want something that "pumps" them up. News reporters add their own "reality" sprinkle into the actual news to attract more viewers. They "slant report" (also known as bias reporting [good or bad]) in the people's favor.

The url above demonstrates one of this slanted reporting. Reporters in this case took a side (Palestinian) by saying that Israelis decided to have "A Day Of Rage" and reporting what the Israelis did, and how many people they injured. What they leave out is what cause this tension and what the Palestinians (police and citizens) did to the Israelis. Which they murder citizens and even children!

Reporters cut out many of the facts, which they make the viewers take a side, and decide in the good and bad not knowing what really happen.

    I agree with you. It seems like nowadays all reporters want is to have the "best" stories. I mean they do report them but they put their own little twist to make it more interesting. Sometimes they even take shots from different angles to make it seem as bigger deal than it really is. Reporters nowadays man smh
