Posted on April 4th, 2010 by admin in journalistic | 2 Comments »

Has anything made you think its very unfair is there any situation you have encountered that made you think this should be the subject of investigation….any ideas?

from my own experience working at a major UK tabloid

anyone and everything is fair game for investigation, except staff (especially senior staff), their friends, their relatives, their friends relatives, their fellow lodge members, friends and relatives of lodge members….

UNLESS the information can be put on ice and used as ‘leverage’ at a future date

Journalistic Attempt #2: Tommy Thompson

Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by admin in journalistic | 25 Comments »

Governor Tommy Thompson gets mad at me.

Upon watching the tape, I can BARELY hear him say “it’s good” when I ask the second time, under his breath and as he was turning away from me.

I didn’t even hear it at the time in person, let alone think the camera picked it up.

What journalistic cliché would you like to see disappear?

Posted on March 31st, 2010 by admin in journalistic | 10 Comments »

The one I’d like to see disappear is "hammering out a deal." Whenever any kind of negotiation happens, the two sides are described as "hammering out a deal." Whatever happened to "negotiating" and "have come to an agreement"?

Also, I’d like to see "cautiously optimistic" disappear.

What phrases would you like to see disappear from journalism?

”war on drugs” or calling that a war or anything which is actually police related and is not really a war. ”the criminals are getting through the loopholes in are justice system.” first without it no one would know who the criminals were. also there are more than one type of criminal. the criminals concentrated on are muggers,rapists , and the like. the assumption is that if you are a police officer no crime can be commited as the police are good and criminals are bad. then that these are the only ones to worry about. warfare is not considered a crime or the crimes commited do not worry people as much as street crime . as in it is not considered dangerous and fantasies about killing local baddies as opposed to ending wafare abound. if you are not being invaded wafare is of no concern goes the reasoning. others ”rogue nation”. also using Dictator when referring to an important personage in another country it is crass. for example”the Dictator Kim ILJONG starves his people to maintain an army millions in strength and to maintain a nuclear arsennel.probably dead by now but really. ”Islamo-Fascism ” or Islamist not very informative.similiar to term Red-Fascist used in Cold War. a term which should be changed. term”Death Squads ” used in Iraq wonder if appropriate or if enough known or term just thrown in. term Stalinist when reffering to U.S.S.R. should reffer to it as the U.S.S.R. strange add more initials and a changeof attituide and that is what the U.S. would be. not relevent. the phrase ”Israeli-Palestinian Peace initiative”is contradiction implies there such a thing as Isreali-Palestinians right now there are Isrealis and Palestinians but no Isreali-Palestinians

What happened to journalistic integrity in the US?

Posted on March 29th, 2010 by admin in journalistic | 2 Comments »

According to JFK, the greatest purpose of the press is to keep government in check by keeping the public informed, you know, with actual facts concerning issues that are actually important. So what happened to that?

Most seem to have forgotten that and have given way to their own prejudices and beliefs. You will be hard pressed to find any newscaster/journalist who does not let their own bias show in their reporting.

Journalistic Malpractice: Iraq, 9/11 and US support of Israel

http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/12/journalistic-malpractice-iraq-911-and.html

SEE YouTube VIDEO: What motivated the 9/11 hijackers? See testimony most didn’t

Mainstream media certainly has not made it easy to understand what motivated the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.

Deceptions Sell Israel to Americans

Israeli soldiers often intentionally murder and maim children.

http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/02/charles-is-back-to-writing-things-like.html

Dishonesty about 9/11 motives robs Americans of the freedom to decide for ourselves if we want to put our lives at risk over specific foreign policies.

The Gorilla in the Room is US Support for Israel.

http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2005/08/gorilla-in-room-is-us-support-for.html

Mainstream Media, the 9/11 Commission Report, politicians and pundits have all downplayed and/or omitted the fact that the main motive for the 9/11 attacks was outrage over U.S. support of Israel. Here is a rare exception to the suppression, it comes from The Forward:
