If you paid more attention to local politics covered by good journalists instead of the cable news opinion show bizarro world, we might be able to have a reasoned conversation about media bias.bigtime media insider covering city council meetings........

Back in the 60s there were no cell phones, computers, internet, Facebook or Truckingboards. All we basically had was the news paper, television and am radio. I remember when fm rock stations were like underground radio.
Don't forget about Rand McNally the truck stop version.Back in the 60s there were no cell phones, computers, internet, Facebook or Truckingboards. All we basically had was the news paper, television and am radio. I remember when fm rock stations were like underground radio.
I had a paper route back in the early sixties delivering the Detroit News. Seventy-five cents a week for home delivery.
Funny you mentioned that.
: in that thing on each load thats active or not paid.: manually. No computers or cells back then. Takes hours. I think back to that little Valley in Jersey and knew that it was a very good base to balance that in Amesbury back then.: online... well... we had a driver going to a Metal Works in Baltimore near the Fort and needed to know what he was dealing with. It came out to a HUD Tower complex within waking distance, potential for knocking, A old Baltimore travel plaza with truckstop opposite and Bus Station also with knockers and you had the City downtown. Sandtown was not too far away along with Thames street etc. Then there is the Fort etc. And the container yards.
It’s earily similar to what Papa Pierre did to Quebec, but on a much larger scale. I guess he suffers from the G. Bush need to finish what daddy started.
Fantasy. 90% of news media employees identify as progressive. Maybe even more by now. You seriously going to try and make the argument that capitalism will overcome zeal for political beliefs? Use Walter Cronkite as an example. He singlehandedly sunk public opinion during Vietnam war by showing pictures of dead troops night after night. Tell me he had no agenda and that capitalism drove his one sided coverage and the facts will call you a liar. He is only one, but if 90% all act as he acted then media coverage will reflect the beliefs of those reportingThere it is, it's a conspiracy!
Ask yourself this: If there was so much interest in the Canadian story among American audiences, don't you think it would be getting more time on the news here? If you're an editor and you think a story "has legs" to bring you more audience share for days, weeks, months, wouldn't you cover that story? Of course you would.
American news is still operating within the confines of capitalism. They cover what brings in an audience. But if you prefer to live in an alternative-facts world where news organizations collude with each other to keep your favored topics off the screen or page, fine.
Deception by omission every time.
Well, yes, yes I am. Haven't you ever worked for someone you didn't see eye-to-eye with? But you needed to pay rent, buy groceries, etc. so you kept your opinions to yourself and just put your head down and did the damn work. That was me for 15 years, working for mostly conservatives in news and public relations jobs.
The only agenda was to show America what price it was paying for continuing to send our young boys into the meat grinder in the jungle just so we could beat the dead horse that was the "containment" doctrine. The U.S. military and the White House weren't giving Americans the real story, mostly because Johnson didn't want to admit it had become a virtual stalemate. Cronkite gave it to us straight, and he wasn't breaking any new ground. By 1967, a year before his famous broadcast, public opinion polls showed approval ratings for Johnson's performance vis a vis Vietnam were hovering in the 30s. As in, 60 to 70% of Americans thought things were going poorly.

Especially impactful was his horseman running over the old lady with the walker.
I have been watching it, didn't see the old lady get ran over. Saw someone get stepped on by horse but it looked like a guy.
