Surprised the global warming myth didn’t make the top nine. It has the potential to be the most expensive and destructive myth ever.
Add to these the Janet Cooke and Jason Blair and Dan Rather debacles, and the media have zero credibility. None. They have squandered their stock in trade, done in by their own zealotry.
***Alar...The segment is now known as one of the most overblown food scares in journalism’s history. ****
And my Mother-in-law and worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money) SWALLOWED IT! Hook, line and sinker.
and don’t get me started on his “Radon” scare!
I would add saccharin causes cancer and make it a top ten list.
Behold the fruits of ecohobbit liberalism:
“Sri Lanka alone saw a dramatic increase in cases of malaria after it stopped using DDT – from a low of 17 cases to more than half a million in 1969.”
Now wonder the jihadists and libscum get alone so well. They are both death cults.
So, I wonder if opra still refuses to eat hamburgers...
In a sense, it's stunning that there should even be such a list.
"News reporting" suggests that one is reporting "news" -- an event or happening that is valuable for other people to know about.
It also suggests that one is "reporting". I.e., sharing the established and researched facts of the matter with his audience.
Yet, we find that "modern journalism" has concocted their own "facts" and "reported" them in such a way as to misguide and mislead the audience.
What real purpose do the media serve if they are to behave in such a way?
So far as I can see, the exclusive role of the federally licensed news media is to serve the Democrat agenda. And one has to ask, "Can we, as a people, really justify such a role?".
Give me one good reason why the next Republican administration should not deny the networks a broadcasting license?
Missing from the list: “We are all at risk for AIDS!” (Oprah said 20% of US would be dead in 5 years.)
I had just bought a new ‘84 Audi 5000 when Ed Bradley did this hit piece.
Not mentioned in Bradley’s report was the fact that CBS had to drill holes in the transmission and apply air pressure at 250 psi to get the effect they blithely reported. A doctored test really put the kibosh on sale of the 5000.
I drove my ‘84 Audi until 2001. It never did accelerate unexpectedly on me. But then I knew the difference between the accelerator and brake.
