    Default The Social Security Office: The Perfect Main stream Journalism??

    Welcome social workers, we have a case: It seems as if no journalism is as good as we like to belive ("shocker"), but main stream journalism is incompetent, which is proven in the last decade.











    Mixed-run journalism enviorment: Many have a reasonable reputation & status in every-day journalism and is less likley to be biased in such, since they are one constant project. However, I've seen state-run journalism failing miserable when the state is the aggrevator of situations, like wars and such. BBC accoring to the study of Professor Justin Lewis of the School of Journalism at Cardiff University and later confirmed by a seperate study by the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung are good examples of BBC being the most pro-government mainstram views, in UK politics. You maight have experiences with other state-run media, but then again, I ask you if this state-media has been in a heavy internal coverage? To me, these state-run houses are one of top 4 or fairly dominant in most mainstream market.

    Free market journalism enviorment: Well, it's "free" which gives the de jure statue of no strings attatched. But "free" of secure fundings leave the journalism extremly fragile. Each house must play ball with soft core questions inorder to get access to importent people. Another terrible example of this is the leading up to the Iraq war and the firing of anti war profiles like Ashleigh Banfield, Jesse Ventura, Phil Donahue, etc. It also seem to me as if some of these news houses use fair amount of time on promoting ideology and setting the border straight with other houses.
    So our case is:
    I'm sure there are tons of political views, but on a general note, is hard-nosed, rugged and less biased mainstream journalism an utopia?

    (Adopted/true)?

    (Denied/untrue)?

    (Exposed/undecided)?
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    I think all journalist at least in modern times esp. are bias and are only looking to get ahead. The media is no longer strictly about news it about selling tv time so people will watch the commercials. There is no Un-Bias journalism and there never will be because its made by humans and face it we are all bias about somethings.
