Wrestling is number one in sports too. But its sports entertainment, not really a competitive sport, just like Fox is infotainment, not really news. I noticed that many of the same people who believe Wrestling is real, also believe FoxNews.
Wrestling! Man can you get anything correct?! On what planet?
That's true. But the issue is why would Fox decide to not run the story and fire their reporters?
Because the local FOX network made the decision not to run the story. As the poster said... reporters do not decide what goes on the TV or in the newspapers. The editors make that decision.
People who watch NPR tend to be informed and have accurate perceptions. People who watch FoxNews tend to be misinformed and have inaccurate perceptions. Many studies have proved this relationship. I posted references to them above..
Let me tell you a little about NPR and how accurate they are.
Last year on the afternoon of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, NPR had the Vancouver Police Chief on the radio. The NPR host was self-flagellating himself asking why US cities explode in riotous celebrations and losses in championship games and Canadian cities don't. Clearly he had no knowledge of riots in Canadian cities after championship games nor was there any research done on the story. He was asking the Vancouver Police Chief what our police can do and what they can teach us on how to behave. He also went on why is it that Canadians are so calm and polite following a great win or loss while us Americans can be so ugly.
Six hours later downtown Vancouver is ablaze.
No retort... no follow up story... nothing.
That's NPR!
