CNN.com - Special Reports - Massacre At Virginia Tech
And I have no problem with all the attention these victims are getting. I know this past week was unprecedented but it would sure be nice if some of the media would give a fraction of the attention to the soldiers and sailors who continue to pass on .They all had life stories and future promise cut short most around the age of these students yet all they get is their name annouced how they died and where in Usa Today on tv they usually aren't even a name just straight numbers. Like I said I'm not trying to take anything from the VT deaths just it'd be nice if the media could show the same amount of attention to our other losses.:cray:

unless you've been living under a rock, the media is quite adept at naming fallen soldiers and pointing out the nature in which they died.

you haven't forgotten CNN's broadcasting the video of insurgent (read, terrorist) snipers killing soldiers in the streets of Baghdad, have you?

CNN is horrible when it comes to news. They maybe first on the scene, but they stay WAY TOO LONG and report on the same thing at least 5 different ways.

I thought it was clarified (repeatedly) that those videos never showed any actual killings. But it's OK to accuse networks of inaccuracies as well I guess.

I do believe the practice, at least from the military side, in wartime is to limit the coverage of individual deaths and injuries.

Remember when the reporters actually asked access to funerals and caskets coming home? The media gets it no matter what viewpoint they take.

The news part of Fox did not talk about it but the talking heads did. The same can be said for CNN on that story too. Learn to separate news from commentary and you'll be happier. The Clinton News Network led the way in biased reporting.

sure, I'll take a gratuitous swipe at CNN whenever I can. consider it balance for all the gratuitous swipes taken at FNC by others.

and you're right to an extent, CNN and other news channels will rarely mention names unless there's some angle that can be exploited, a la Casey Sheehan and Pat Tillman.

if you're looking for names though, look no further, Honor the fallen: Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom casualties

Clinton news network is that you Rush or just one of his dittoheads. Start watching cnn instead of fnc and you might be more informed and less dumbed down
Which Audiences Know the Most?



319-14.gif
Attention to the news is strongly associated with knowledge levels, but some news audiences know considerably more than others. Overall, 35% of the public was classified as having a high level of knowledge - on average, 18 correct answers out of the 23 total questions. Half or more of the audiences for six media sources scored this high: the comedy news shows and major newspaper websites (54% in the high knowledge group), the NewsHour (53%), National Public Radio (51%) and Rush Limbaugh's radio show (50%). Regular readers of news magazines were not far behind (48%).

By contrast, the regular audiences for many other sources scored no higher than the sample average. The audiences for morning news (34% high knowledge), local TV news (35%), Fox News Channel (35%), blogs (37%), and the network evening news (38%) were not significantly different from the norm for the whole sample (35%). The audiences for CNN, internet news sites such as Google and Yahoo, local newspapers, and TV news organization websites scored slightly higher (41%-44% high knowledge).

This pattern is evident on many of the individual questions in the survey. For example, 32% of the public overall could name the Sunni branch of Islam, but 52% of readers of major newspaper websites could do so, as could 50% of the regular audience for the comedy news shows and 49% of NPR's regular audience. Similarly, 29% of the general public could identify Lewis "Scooter" Libby, but 45% of the NewsHour audience and 41%-44% of the regular audiences of Bill O'Reilly, comedy news shows, NPR, Rush Limbaugh, the national newspaper websites, and news magazines could do so. On both of these questions, the audiences for morning news, local TV news, Fox News Channel, blogs, and the network evening news either matched or did only slightly better in answering correctly than did the average American.

The fact that a particular news source's audience is very knowledgeable does not mean that people learned all that they know from that source. As noted earlier, some news sources draw especially well-educated audiences who are keenly interested in politics. Because of their education and life experiences, these individuals have more background information and may be better able to retain what they see in the news, regardless of where they see it.

Similarly, the news-hungry public tends to visit many outlets. The audiences for sources such as major TV news websites, the comedy shows, or the O'Reilly Factor tend to be fairly omnivorous in their media consumption - an average of more than seven separate sources for the regular audiences of each of these, compared with the overall average of 4.6 sources. Well-informed people do gravitate to particular places, but they also make use of a much wider range of news sources than do the less informed.

Still, differences in background characteristics and overall news habits do not explain all of the differences in knowledge across news audiences. Even after taking into account their overall news gathering habits and their political and demographic characteristics, the audiences for the comedy shows, The O'Reilly Factor, the web sites of national newspapers, and NPR all have significantly higher knowledge scores than the average.

Notes

1Three questions were excluded from the scoring because they did not measure knowledge of political or world affairs. These questions included one that asked respondents to identify singer and actress Beyonce Knowles and a similar question about professional football star Peyton Manning. Responses to a third question about the roots of the conflict in Iraq did not correlate with knowledge about politics, current events or international affairs, and as a result this question was dropped from the scale.

2This question ("regularly or not") produces somewhat higher audience estimates than are found in Pew's biennial media consumption survey, which offers respondents the choice of "regularly, sometimes, hardly ever, or never." For example, last year's survey found 22% saying they were regular viewers of CNN; in the current survey, 39% did so. Similar differences are found for most of the sources tested.

Can any one explain why Fox News is so powerful if they only reach at primetime a viewership of 600,000 people.

This coming from a guy who uses crooks & liars as a source? :wacko:

Rush listeners scored higher than CNN watchers so I take that as a compliment. Did these people also do the exit polls for the 04 election?

what happened then?


oh, you mean the mid-term election in a President's 6th year that historically has meant a loss in seats for the President's own party?

and you're happy that the Pelosi/Reid cabal don't have the ability to override a Presidential veto?

No, but your grasp of punctuation leaves something to be desired.

When the first 3 replies to your topic are :blink:, :ermm: and :crazy: it means you didn't really make a strong point.

All kidding aside, what points are you making? All you do is come on here, copy/paste some articles and then say "lmao :post-4-1090547912:". It seems you buy the left talking points wholesale. Most here are not so driven by party loyalties that they can't see the bad on both sides.

Not grading punctuation but readability. It's not that I "don't like what you typed" it's that I can't read it! There's a big difference. Do you ever make a point that's not already made in the Dems press releases?
