Few things make me as angry as seeing media that could potentially be a force of good go bad. I don’t understand the concept of high paying Media news networks.  I love the concept of being a news reporter who gets paid well for the work he/she does. However I also believe that the work should have it’s limits. Without limits you are bound to be corrupted and in that your views become delusions. You get paid to find truths that aren’t real truths because fact doesn’t become a factor.

NEWS is important because in it’s most basic statement it is the telling of FACT not opinion. Opinions are what I DO here. I don’t write about facts I write about what I FEEL about the facts I read. However it’s becoming harder to do that because we live in a world that now mixes the two and says it’s news. I almost never bought this topic up because really it is strange to me how and why it has become this way.

I understand two things about media. First Entertainment is a high point. It’s why we watch T.V., Youtube, and etc with the internet. It’s why we keep our attention to reality tv “even if I don’t” people do. The numbers are what keep everything running. This little space of the internet I have created has zero interest in the numbers while “NICE” I started this to have a voice. In that I feel that is what NEWS has become.. a voice .. not a concept to report FACT.

The second thing I understand about media is that if you switch channels you can get parts of information from one source and parts to another. Nothing happens in one big puzzle piece. It happens in many so keeping an open mind and finding fact tends to be difficult because it requires.. TRUTH.. The details in truth more often than I would like it to state. I suppose that is why things have become the way they have.

I STARTED this because I wanted a place to go to that would allow me to vent on things like politics and religion. Cause I felt common sense is really at this point OBSOLETE. What is common now? With all the information in the world at our finger tips it’s hard for me to say because the numbers can come from any number of sources contradicting one another. I wish I had the answers but in all that perhaps something good has come from it. VOICES need to be heard and I think in all that maybe we are headed into something better.. but chances are it will get worse before it gets better.
