Have you noticed?
Have you noticed the transition from news reporting, from facts? Remember the 4 W’s and H, who, what, where, when, and how?
The transition progressed slowly and patiently, yet steadfastly
For many years I have commented that I do not recall the last time that I had seen a ‘news’ report; rather than someone’s interpretation
So called news is now opinion, editorial; it’s ‘spin.’ When was the first time we (collectively) identified the ‘spin,’ the spin doctor?
We are departed from actual news. The story, preferably compelling story, is now the object of reporting
Had not you noticed? It is official. The object of so called news reporting is not to report news (facts). Back in ‘the day,’ news (facts) was reported and conclusions and implications were drawn by the recipient (you and me; we, the public)
It’s official, our job (we the public) is to merely soak in the spin
“Our job is to make sense of it all,” Brian Williams, NBC News, so called
