Journalism 101: News vs Propaganda

[nichomachus]

News headline: Sanders wins in three western states, gaining on Clinton in delegate count.

Proaganda headline: Sanders wins in three western states; Clinton maintains huge lead in delegates.

It's called "framing" and it can take news and make it propaganda.

Which did your favorite "news" sources use?

1. There are no facts, only interpretations. Friedrich Nietzsche

Interpretations frequently differ.

My interpretation: Bernie won three states by massive margins due to being the best candidate.

Good point you're making. NYT not too bad, imo.

3. Unfortunately I have NO favorite news source anymore. They all put out the propaganda by

the bushel full.
I did like MSNBC but Rachel is following her masters in order to keep her lucrative position and Olbermann is gone and Hayes is good, but he's not enough to keep me there.

Something else I've noticed, Rachel, Hayes, and others are now talking as fast as they can on their shows. I think it's to make more time for commercials, and I hate, hate, hate them.

Companies should only be allowed to show new products. How many times do I need to see the bears with the toilet paper?? I know we need toilet paper, I buy the kind I like and they will never sell me toilet paper unless it's a buy one get 4 (or more) free.

4. MSNBC is -- and has always been -- like a nightclub stripper

She titillates you just enough to keep the money flowing.
But she has never had any intentions of going home with you.
(Unless, of course, you're willing to pay. And, trust me, you couldn't afford it.)
