what am i gonna talk about? i'm gonna talk about whatever i damn well please! i talk about the things that i care about. if i am gonna report on sports, i wanna talk about soccer as much as possible. why? because we know that nobody else will do it! you know...we can't ALL talk about Jimmer...because you can find anything and everything about him. but while that is going on, how is anyone going to know the outcome of the biggest soccer game of the year? CHELSEA VS. MANCHESTER UNITED?!?!?! (chelsea wins 2-1)
in a book that i have been reading, Republic.com 2.0, he mentions how we censor our own media and news. but the best way to approach the news, is by having the open gate. we allow all kinds of news to pass by us, and then we will select the things that interest us AT THAT MOMENT....this as opposed to, for example, google news that only sends you exactly what you want.
i find it quite simple, really. journalists do what they do. they report on what they report on. if they are passionate about it, more power to them! that means they will put more effort into it! the key is being HUMBLE enough to change your opinion, or modify it, based on the research that you passionately do in reporting your case. it is the job of the citizens to see both sides. you cannot solely watch Fox News and expect to be well informed. nor can you solely watch CNN. it is imperative for the CONSUMER to do their part and research both sides of it. it's pretty dang simple.
