[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3937701, member: 45524"] david payne is a ship jumper and i laugh every time i get to snub him. NOTHING makes me more happy than ignoring people who think they are important LOL i don't watch local news or any news really. haven't had TV in....i dunno.....15 years? i don't understand why people think they need it. i can say that it's like anything else: most of the news people are probably WAY more based than you would ever expect, even going all the way to the top. but like everything else; they understand that "politics" and how you present yourself (ie appearing to be liberal) is the most effective way to keep the money rolling in. i mean let's be real; their channels would be taken off the air if they said the REAL news. so i get it's all just a show. which gets to your stitt point; they literally run stories because their entire business model is to get paid to run certain stories. they don't just....like say whatever they want you know. they get paid to report certain things, hell they get paid to NOT report certain things. there is also agreements with local police and hospitals to keep certain stories under wraps, lots of certain kinds of deaths that occur all the time and NEVER make the news. i've talked to police AND people who would know in the news industry and yeah it's an agreement. so basically, watch whatever you want but understand even the people who own it realize it's bunk.
