The Media: Attention Span of the Dog in UP vs. Manufactured News?

The dog in UP...





The media really is the dog in UP...

Americans can settle in for a lengthy media overfeeding at the trough of Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry is cowboy boot-deep in hay, hitting on America. (04:00)

Squirrel!...

Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry excitement belongs to the ages once media talk turns to Paul Ryan, and Ed Schultz sees racism in Rick Perry's "black cloud."


VS


Because of a 24 hr news cycle one of the problems is that conflict MUST be manufactured to keep viewers...

The 24-hour news media turn a tale of reasonable accommodation into a tale of manufactured conflict.


Media manufactured 'race card' scandal creation...

Media outlets and pundits try to inflame black/brown issues, or in Edwards case, an orange-tan issue.


The Chris Christie said no but the media was bored so created his candidacy...

Chris Christie continues to answer the media's ridiculous questions.


Chris Christie's media manufactured candidacy had gone on for a while...

The inscrutable Chris Christie continues to confound pundits hoping for a straight answer regarding his intentions to run for president.

Note

All the news is scripted and the anchors are often required JUST to read what they are told to...

Anchorman Don Lemon's half-hearted last-minute effort to feign that he cares about CNN's antics is a call for help.


A situation where the script catches an anchor by surprise...



I don't know what to make of this, training so as not to laugh?...
