Really Carrie? I don’t think so. If you don’t think this is a vendetta against Toyota why haven’t the media highly publicize the brake issue on Ford’s new hybrids but what you see is the Prius’s brakes being publicize. Give me a break the media is going for the jugular period.

Perhaps it’s time to retract your story decrying the reporting on acceleration problems? I think it’s become clear that there is in fact an issue.

Mickey – I think you’re right about the way the news is produced. These organizations are operating under an old model and the new model has yet to catch up. I think that, 10 years from now, local and national news organizations will be healthy once more, but in the meantime we’re going to see a lot of news organizations go under.

Mk from websters “Main Entry: 1in�cen�di�ary
Pronunciation: \in-?sen-d?-?er-?; -?sen-d?-r?, -dy?-\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural in�cen�di�ar�ies
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin incendiarius, from incendium conflagration, from incendere
Date: 15th century
1 a : a person who commits arson : arsonist b : an incendiary agent (as a bomb)
2 : a person who excites factions, quarrels, or sedition : agitator

Line 2 has it…….. Also even the news stations if you look are having the same issues since they are tied in together by the same possible owner. Take for example instead of just having a traffic person give you the news on crashes or breakdowns etc you now have the same person doing the weather and other related stories. Doing 3 jobs into 1. This is the cut backs they are having so they won’t pay alot for a story so now you really have the trash come in. Yes I check the station’s website but man they are worse. Spelling and grammar are terrible and the story is left out in right field to leave you wondering with no one going back to tell you the rest of the story like Paul Harvey.

Point exactly..it’s just much easier to make “updates” on a web page because you can retract/change it so easily. You know there’s sarcasm in that other post! -smile-

Ken – LOL. Please send photos of the grappling hook.
TXTee – I can’t remember the last time I touched a newspaper either. The print industry is dying a slow, miserable death, and the desperation these old newspapers feel is forcing them to lower their standards. I appreciate your comments, but I have to say I don’t think we’re much better. It’s a slippery slope.

This is typical of the media. Most of the time these imbeciles have NO idea what the hell they are talking about to begin with. They just talk to hear their heads rattle and try to bend everything out of proportion. I am satisfied that a prerequisite to being a journalist is to be a complete moron.
I am just scared to DEATH of my runaway 07 Tundra. I have removed the floormats and equipped it with a giant grappling hook in the bed, cuz I put so much stock in the media.

Newspaper is just too hard to fold and read and flip to page 32A to continue and I’ll be darned but I just smudged that nasty ink all over my hands and my business suit. Oh wait a minute I forgot I wear polos and jeans to work…never mind! Let me get back to my keyboard now. But that is a true point about journalism that Mickey brought up. No one (besides Jason of course) knows how to research or write anything worth saying anymore. Plus it’s so much easier and cost efficient to try and correct your blunders by updating a webpage…HUH? I never said that! is the new theme.
