ofiba Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 This pretty much solidifies my stance on Bill Belichick. He's a cheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 That was the response I was looking for. "Human interest" is considered "soft news", but still "news". Therefore, it is proper to call it a "news story". Human interest stories are only considered soft news by people doing human interest stories who wish they were doing the news. The rest of the world calls it schlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Gubmint professors studying the media too actually. Do you realize precisely how many things are wrong with that statement? Shouldn't they be studying the government? Do they know that there really is no Fourth Estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Do you realize precisely how many things are wrong with that statement? Shouldn't they be studying the government? Do they know that there really is no Fourth Estate? Uh, yeah, of course they know that there is not really a fourth estate - that was a fundamental tenant of the classes on the media that I took. And its pretty important to study the media in a government program, as that is the primary method that candidates get campaign time, the manipulation of public opinion using the media, the manipulation of public opinion, the job of the press secretary, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
