Journalism???

Today the ability to decipher what real journalism is continues to be blundered. More and more issues arise everyday such as government control over news content or celebrity gossip and its validity as actual news. There are people and organizations arising to take a stand in the hopes of retaining good journalistic research and reporting. Among these is an organization called OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. http://www.outfoxed.org/
They are taking to stand that Fox News does not produce actual news content but is rather a mouthpiece for the government and other organizations. Their means of conveying this is through a DVD release where former Fox News employees and reporters speak out about their experiences working for the station.
But you need not pay $12.95 to find out what Fox News is reporting on. A quick look at Foxnews.com will tell you more about what they value than anything. Just under the breaking news or the major headlines for the day (Obama searches for new church, Jill Biden: Joe had options), is the Features and Faces sections and its headlines ("Dance in your undies": Tyra Banks and her top models share slim down secrets; FOXSexpert: It may be legal in Washington state, but student-teacher sex is never OK; and FOX411: Sienna Miller bolts 'Nottingham,' Ridley Scott looks for 'mature' lady.) Scroll down a bit more; '1 Fat Belly Rule: Obey' I cut out 2 pounds of body fat a week by following this 1 old rule. Scroll down a bit more and you'll find the U.S., World, Business, and Politics sections.
By mere placement on a homepage, you can see what FoxNews values as the most important and breaking. Now it is a question of whether this is in response to what we the readers want to see or what FoxNews wants us to see. I will end today's post with a video produced by OUTFOXED on their views on domacracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIVnwYGU9Qo
