Should have read on a bit runner, I have no time to waste on the equally bigoted followers of "Allah" or their predictable responses to stories of this kind. It would be like blaming rain for being wet, they are hard wired to respond hysterically to whatever they are told to respond hysterically to & short of frontal lobotomy (5.56/7.62mm preferred), ain't nothin' gonna change that.
However, providing those that pull their strings with ammunition like this, purely to make money? With absolutely no regard for the lives that will be lost by innocents? That is FUBAR. Posted by Aaron 1975, Monday, 4 April 2011 10:57:13 AM

TLTR see http://tv.globalresearch.ca/2011/03/three-raging-nuclear-meltdowns-progress Now Dr Kaku was also on our corportate media saying this.You seem to imply that only nut jobs read this site and only the credible media is a Corporate or Govt one. So is Dr Kaku your "nut job" or a credible scientist who knows what he is talking about?

Well....:) The Responsibly of Journalism is to in-fact tell the truth of an event to which a story can be told for all in the best interests of humanity its self. True this doesn't always goes to plan, thanks to those that love nothing more than to be sensationalists, that brings about the worst in all that just want to be......well.....the rest is not that hard to figure out. Now days, bull makes money, causes ratings, and feeds the almighty hunger/monsters of what the new god is called, THE MEDIA!
Humans can be convinced of absolutely anything....... except me of course:) Anything Religious Concerning A Deity Will Always cause a sensation (: to put it lightly :) and one of the cruelness mind inflictions ever to be put on man as a way of controlling one-another. Until a GOD can be proven, science/and evolution is the path to avoid humans from fighting. Up until now, that's all the worldly religions have caused, and to continue on this primitive delusion that was nothing more than man wondering about what he/she saw when animal instinct was no longer our bondage. These old books should be look at as Dangerous to the evolving one,s we have become. The bottom line is.......Some are evolved.....and some are simply not.

"Until a GOD can be proven, science/and evolution is the path to avoid humans from fighting." All violence comes from religion? Now I've heard it all. How's the food in LALA-Land? Posted by StG, Monday, 4 April 2011 7:05:15 PM

The growth of the news media in size and importance has led to tremendous improvements in the methods of gathering and presenting the news. But the cost of operating a news organisation has also increased greatly and therefore it should not come as a surprise that the news tends to feature the visually exciting or emotionally moving stories to draw large readerships (or viewers - as in TV news programs) , even if this means omitting issues that are more sober but perhaps significant also.
Therefore I agree that news organisations have the enormous responsibility of helping people understand today's complex and fast-changing world. The obligation of the media to keep the public informed through full, fair, and accurate reporting has never been greater. However, inevitably, journalists, newspaper editors, like anyone else, will be guilty of some measure of bias, often unconscious, to interpret facts according to their own values. It's shaped by their background, training, and prior experiences. This problem occurs in all occupations and it becomes particularly acute when the subject matter often involves issues of deep human and moral concern. How can this problem be resolved? The first step is to recognise that subjectivity and objectivity are not two neat and separate categories; they're really matters of degree. Total objectivity is probably impossible to achieve but a self-conscious effort to be as objective as possible will produce vastly less biased reporting than not making this attempt. The pursuit of objectivity doesn't necessarily mean that journalists can't express personal opinions or value judgments. It means that these judgments should be clearly labeled as such. It would be perfectly legitimate, therefore, for a reporter to give as objective an account as possible of a story, and then to add a subjective judgement - provided that the judgement was presented as a matter of personal opinion.

'
and of course you could not blame the murderers who commited the crime in the name of Allah. That would be to contrary to your dogma.
btw the public funded national broadcasters give far to much platform to left wing nuts who peddle their gw faith. At least the other rags spend their own money.
