  • NY Post rewrites AP

    I know that we are supposed to concern ourselves with biased media, and this situation is a great reminder.

    Re: NY Post rewrites AP

    Heh. Amazing how the media filters the same information. Reminds me of the game "telephone". By the time the last person hears the information, it doesn't sound remotely like the original version.

    The NY Post, like other tabs, tends to overdramatize stuff. If it's not their lurid headlines, it's in the way they skew things. But there are some people who take whatever is put out by the tabs as gospel. And that is not to say that "reputable" rags like the NYT don't do the same. For example, why is "Atlantic Monthly" considered more "conservative" than Time Magazine?

    We all have our own filters, no matter how much we protest our objectivity. Which is why it's always a good thing not to trust just one source for all your information. God gave us all brains, and we should use our critical thinking abilities to determine the truth for ourselves.
