Revolutionize the Media

            More than a few times, I find other countries report aboutUnited Statesbetter than theUnited States. Not petty reports, but rather huge accusations, and actions that our country takes that our news ignores. Our media, once “The Watch Dogs of the Government”, now changed to, “The Lap Dogs of the Government.” Using what does not get reported to make the reader the ignorant.

            More information gets reported in the newspapers from other countries about our policies and actions, than in our own. Newspapers do not inform the citizens but rather keep them in the dark. Brainwashing reports in the news emphasize a society of zombies.

            The Taliban allegedly receives funds from Pakistanto acquire much wanted nuclear weapons. K.V. Prasad in The Hindu reports, he includes President Obama’s warnings to the Taliban about acquiring nuclear war heads. Shockingly this story showed up in the back pages of The New York Times, and appeared in The Hindu on the front page.

           USnews curtails to the wishes of the Government. Stories print to distract. Cheap, meaningless stories, fed to the public. Fox News reported with urgency what Sarah Palin tweeted about President Obama. Simultaneously, the rest of the world reported that The United States accused a high official inIndiaof money laundering and human trafficking.Europe,AsiaandAfrica, reported this story on the front page. TheUnited Statesmedia ignored our actions.

            Content drives a story. Reporters must answer: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Rarely news stories answer why, and too few readers are calling for an answer.

            Politics and the English Language by George Orwell warns about the allowance of the English language’s liberties. Words become empty and definitions lost, this allows for manipulation. Case in point: the word socialist and the current debate about President Obama.

 Scary, the people of the nation are poorly informed, and making poorly informed opinions. Revolutionize the media inAmerica, dispel the ‘lapdogs’ and bring back the ‘watchdogs’.  Ask: why?
