“While the Constitution is what the judges say it is, a public issue is something that Walter Cronkite or John Chancellor recognizes as such.

“[W]omen's magazines know that more than two thirds of women pray each day so they tend to promote "spirituality" which is warm, soft, fuzzy, and "me-centered, " rather than religion, which is definitely not. Shot with a soft-focus lens, spirituality in women's media has morphed into another method of stress reduction. Lulling and inoffensive, spirituality is more about taking long walks and buying $65 Jo Malone scented candles than making ethical decisions or moral judgments. It's another way to calm ourselves, refresh ourselves, or applaud ourselves.” KnowsWayLongTwoSpiritualityDecisionWalksMoralFocusMediaPrayingJudgmentShotsThirdsStressMethodCalmWarmMagazinesEach DayBuyingEthicalCandleLensesAnother WayReductionFuzzyOmenLong WalksMoral JudgmentScented CandlesStress Reduction Author:Myrna Blyth
“[T]here's a good reason to stay pessimistic about deficits as far as the eye can see. It's called the 'news' media. Legislators who want to get re-elected will clearly want to avoid any spending decision that will create bad national publicity, and our news media, the manufacturers of bad national publicity, will send crying victims down the assembly line at the slightest thought of a social spending cut or freeze.

“I had been thinking independently about our ability to forget things that happened, specifically, events that clearly were wrong, that crossed the line. It seemed to me during the 2000 election recount that the media's narrative was being orchestrated.

“Where the differences came in was the patina of ideology which the news media laid over everything. There's certainly a bias, to some degree, in the way the media portrays the military. I'm not saying that's entirely wrong - the Fourth Estate is there to hold generals and colonels accountable for their actions and decisions - but having reporters on the scene, reporting in real time certainly complicates things for the military mission.” WayRealActionDifferencesDecisionMediaMilitarySceneDegreesNewsMissionsIdeologyFourthBiasReportersEstatesColonelsNews Media Author:Dave Abrams
