Members phkrause Posted August 11, 2009 Members Posted August 11, 2009 Pretty gruesome stuff I'd say. I wonder who gave these guys license to do this stuff. Or OKd this. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Guest Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 And it may be true, but I take anything that comes from MSNBC with a grain of salt. Quote
Members phkrause Posted August 12, 2009 Members Posted August 12, 2009 Richard you could say that about every news station. It could be true or not. Its all on how they spin the story. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Guest Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Yes but a story like that one has a specific agenda. Quote
Members phkrause Posted August 12, 2009 Members Posted August 12, 2009 Yes I agree with you, but how its spun also is the agenda of the station. Don't forget the news room doesn't make the news, they get these things from outside and than they report it. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Guest Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 It used to be that way. Now they actually do manufacture the news. Especially MSNBC. Quote

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted August 12, 2009 Administrators Posted August 12, 2009 Some make the erroneous assumption that if it is covered by their favorite news program it has no spin and that everyone else reporting the story differently is spinning it. And an equally wrong assumption is that if one's favorite news program doesn't mention it or cover it, it didn't happen. Even in the current 24/7 news coverage, not every story is reported and not everything about a story is reported. Things are edited, framed and prioritized. And those editorial decisions are spin in and of themselves. Just because Fox decides not to cover this story, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)
