No, I can see why you would see it this way, but I am actually asking for a credible counter to Neuharth's position. > Secondly, there is no strong A-political media voice because everybody has > political views and it would be nearly impossible to keep them to one's self. That's not what I take Neuharth to mean -- I believe he means a credible voice *in the media*, as opposed to politicians. I could be wrong, of course. > Ask any journalist student today why he wants to go into Journalism and the > standard answer is "I want to change the world" or "I want to make a > difference". A commendable goal. What happens to them along the way these days, I wonder? >All we can do as consumers of the media is wade through, it use your > head, and seek what is really true and whatever you do, don't let the media tell > you what to think or how to interpret events. Do that for yourself! :-) Good advice; may we both take it to heart. My main point would be that the mainstream media don't even *report* let alone emphasize a good many of the events that are arguably most important to our wellbeing.
