But I will ask this, which things are irresponsible behavior?
Smoking in bed?
Texting while driving?
Driving while drunk?
Not wearing a seat belt while driving?
Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater?
Dumping toxic waste into a river?
18 kids and counting? http://www.duggarfamily.com/
That just absolutely drips with irony.
Draw your own conclusions there.
So-called mainstream media' sloppy reporting makes me pull my hair out. Especially when a story is soooooo easy to get right with minimal research---which is what is called journalism.
Everthing about FoxNews reeks of the same tabloid crap that we see at the grocery checkout stands. Never mind parsing their slant as biased; it is just the antithesis of true journalism that I grew up with. NewsCorp is to journalism what pro wrestling is to athletics and sports---contrived "entertainment"
masquerading as news. Their entire structure and presentation is exclusively for the 45% of this country that votes Republican in every election. This accounts for their massive ratings which are not diluted amongst the networks and other cable news outlets. It is a monolithic echo chamber of conservatism which truth and professionalism simply cannot penetrate. It is a distillary for the conservative blogosphere where lies and misinformation, no matter how artful or clumsily invented, can become a self-fullfilling prophecy, as the entire Obama speech to students hysteria so aptly demonstrated.
The right wing has perfected the mechanism of perpetuating isinformation and outright lies that is gaming the system under the noses of progressives and more serious media news outlets.
CNN and MSNBC lay themselves out and let themselves be run over.
Okay, so they do push back but are on average just inept at maintaining a consistent standard of reporting that roots out the TRUTH and fights to push it into the forefront of public debate. The political independants out there are receptive to the truth if it can cut through the noise of infotainment and hysteria.
Serious news media reports from the air and constantly relies on pundits flying around in their airspace for information and perspective on what is going on inside the heads of the citizens on the ground. They need to get down on ground level, where I am, and they can see and hear for themselves what is going on.
Why do consumers of news who are looking for accurate information and reporting have to logon to Youtube to hear firsthand the voices of the insanely misinformed people that surround me everywhere I go. There is an ideological civil war going on down here. And if the mainstream media could experience it they would know just how important that it is that they do their jobs better. Because FoxNews is NOT just a "fly in the ointment"-----they aredangerously close to BECOMING THE OINTMENT!
