Maybe it takes a wolf to catch a wolf sometimes.

I hope you aren't thinking I think it's "okay" to hurt or kill anyone or their animals. I won't even watch the video. After the childhood I had, biker gang drug dealing mom, step dad in the pen, and thats just the start, I don't need to "know" what it looks like. I am aware of it's presence and I do what I can to bring balance and justice.

Don't let your hearts be troubled. But let me ask this. Unless the reporter is trying to rally the public to DO SOMETHING about this injustice, what is the point of "reporting" it?? Besides making money??

peace.
Wow man! I'm sorry to hear that! That's just downright harsh!

As a Broadcasting student at Metro, I think I can speak to that.

In theory, news is to inform "The People" of events that effect their lives.
The problem inlies in the facts that all media outlets within the US is held by a very few ultra-rich media tycoons who have created huge corporations known as our Local and National Media.
So the money/power greedy media moguls took hold of our media the quality of programming went down, as did the investment of human talent thereby reducing the cost and increasing the profits. While maintain control of the programming you hear today.

Case and point; Fox, There are huge political games that are played between Fox and the whack job, Bush. They were up his ass from day one. Why? You ask, well...it's ultra wealthy elite who want not only stay that way but make MORE. Well part of making more is the money they make off the government one way or another.

They want more of the evil token that represents the United State's PROMISE that it is good! But that's leading me down a road that would be best saved for a different post. :stoned:

When you have a hold of the media you have a hold of "The People!"

That is one (paranoid?), opinion for whatever it's worth.
