American News is Worthless

[BedellBrave]

Get yours from the BBC and other international sources. Link

BBC is always the best source IMO.

[The Chosen One]

Al-Jazeera English has had the best news imo.

Actually, PBS Newshour is fine.

If you're not scared, you're not watching the news

[BedellBrave]

Just 2000 Africans getting massacred that's all. That this is not a story in the major news players is telling.

And yet more death at the hands of radical Islam. But, nothing to see here. They are no threat to the world which would require intervention from the free world.

Exactly. It's the cops killing us that we have to really worry about.

[BedellBrave]

I think there's a racial component to it. I mean they are going balls-to-the-wall on the France story, but 2000 Africans, who gives a sh-t, right?

[goldfly]

that is exactly true

you are 8 times more likely to be killed by a cop protecting and serving the **** out of you in this country than a terrorist

[BedellBrave]

Or, it's just Africans being Africans... I grow to despise our media - all of it - more and more.

Yeah, you're including the people who are shot by the police for legitimate reasons. Of course you wouldn't know the difference.

are we supposed to pretend that the gov'ts of the west that have raped the land and enslaved and killed the people of Africa for 100's of years suddenly cares?

please be my teacher to show me the way oh wise one

[50PoundHead]

I read The Economist and a few other news magazines. I don't pay much attention to the broadcast media. Listen to NPR some.

Who's talking about governments?

Who's talking about governments?

Nobody. Its just another deflection. Its infuriating.

[mossy]

I'm not sure how it works in other countries, but my perception of American News is they are encouraged to lie as much as possible.

A little bit of local news is ok, but American cable news is disgusting. We all have our favorites right?

[BedellBrave]

Let's just think about this - Jihadists slaughter 2000 black Africans and our media buries the story. Jihadists in France murder what a half a dozen or so and it's wall-to-wall coverage, with a break to cover J-Lo's boobs.

Don't blame black American leadership. They have strong armed robbers to defend first and foremost.
