I agree to some point but you cannot say that twitter, facebook and such are completely legit it is an internet source and there are plenty of people that make stuff up just to get reactions or just to get “feedback” from other bloggers. I don’t watch the news either because like you said all they report on is the doom and gloom. Why not do a story on how many people are out there doing good in the world instead of all the crap that people are doing. It’s no wonder there is such a negative image toward America. It is getting so bad that even ESPN is reporting on the crap we shouldn’t be caring about like Tiger and his going to sex addiction classes. I DON”T CARE!!!! I don’t watch Tiger on Sundays and say wow that is such a great guy. I watch him because he is a great golfer. Now it would be nice if these guys would be good role models but who are we kidding there probably less than 1% of professional athletes that are actually good role models. Anyways after that rant Nick i think you are correct. Our media does more harm than good.

That makes sense. At first it seemed there was no way to get news by someone or something not getting paid to do it. In some of my media classes we talked about how the news would be us reporting it. How eventually the news would not be anchors telling the news but us telling our own stories. It sounds like it has really started to pick up since twitter and facebook have become so popular. – Collin
