What do you think the media should do?
Inform, Educate and Entertain?
Comment or reflect.
The media. The word comes from the verb mediate. It is someone telling you something. It is, by definition a processed view that has had a spin on it that is to say, someone else was there and this is what they saw.

Perhaps one of the problems is that we (as a readership/audience) forget this spin, which to some extent, we are not fully to blame. Journalists are fighting a cause which they seem to be loosing.

None the less, they claim to be in touch with the truth (read classical notion of...) and thus can pass to us the 'truth'. What they do to appear more valid is to say;
"We're not biased...these are the facts, as clear as day."

Many will believe them just because they say this.

PS Good to see L3 is still a viable forum.
