LOL! Well I never noticed the images link or the news link either to tell you the truth. I usually don't go to the google site. I downloaded a google tool bar and have the little news icon or I probably wouldn't have thought about it either. Now I'm having fun with "images" I just googled pasta (sorry, I'm weird) and clicked on images. It's getting me hungry.

This is another valuable source. It's endorsed by Walter Cronkite who said: "Project Censored is one of the organizations that we should listen to, to be assured that our newspapers and our broadcasting outlets are practicing throrough and ethical journalism." I never knew how many stories are censored all the time! Mr. Cronkite also endorsed the Media Channel and said (his words are in print and on audio) http://www.mediachannel.org/originals/cronkite.s... [ More ]

Emily, do you have a Google toolbar? I just click on the little newspaper icon. Otherwise, you can just go to www.google.com and look above the giant GOOGLE and there are choices. One of them is news. In never used "images" before and last night I asked someone where she lives on a chat. All I did was go to www.google.com and then clicked on images and all these pictures appeared. Same with food, a car or anything else. I don't know why I never thought if using it before. BTW, after seeing where this lady lives, I want to move there! lol Look at Shasta Lake. OMG!... [ More ]

Em, it's great news source especially if you want different angles on the same story. I find it interesting to read foreign articles on something affecting the US. It's a different slant on the nightly news. Also it gives an idea of how the outside world percieves us.

You bring up an important point regarding journalism. A reporter or correspondent is not supposed to editorialize or insert bias into their story. This is difficult if not impossible, with TV or radio media because of the nature of those media. The old standard was that the story be presented as "who, what, where, when, why". An editor would fire a reporter for inserting the "because" into the story. That journalistic concept was applied to newspaper reporting. TV journalism is diffe... [ More ]
