| Re: It's high time for a "correction" Dude, there are only so many minutes available in a news broadcast and you want them to go into detail about how many gang shootings there are in the US every time a bomb goes off in Iraq? And tell us how many people did not live in the area of the blast and how many places did not get bombed? Every time some corporation breaks the law we need to spend a newscast congratulating the other companies who were nice enough actually do what they are supposed to and follow the law? That is just not news, and I doubt most people would to hear it which is why media outlets don't do that already.
Even if that was a good idea, someone still has to decide what is to be aired, how to frame it, what factoids to highlight, how far to go with your 'program'. You really want the government in charge of that? |
