“A free press is one where it's okay to state the conclusion you're led to by the evidence . One reason I'm in hot water is because my colleagues and I at NOW didn't play by the conventional rules of Beltway journalism . Those rules divide the world into Democrats & Republicans , liberals & conservatives , and allow journalists to pretend they have done their job if instead of reporting the truth behind the news , they merely give each side an opportunity to spin the news.” (Bill Moyers) NOW was a series produced by NPR and PBS that ran for 6 seasons from 2002. These are four images from different news sources: CNN, Apple News, Weather Channel, 11-Alive Local News.
Truth in your narrative. True journalism died years ago. Now it's all spin and hidden as well as open agendas. Sad for the world and sad for all of us. The days of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley are gone. But we can't hide our lights under a bushel.
We live in an era of fake news... news spin... and misinformation. You've done a great job calling attention to the need to seek the truth and to do this it will require a lot of sifting and sorting to determine that which is true.
This image shows the clash of fake news and genuine news perfectly. What a terrible time we are living at the moment. I feel things will get worse before they get better.
A sad commentary to be sure, but all too true. It's infuriating how much of the "spin" is taken for truth. A very creative image to illustrate the point!
