U.S. Reporters Grill Obama in Asia: Did You Like Your Green-Tea Ice Cream?

Journalism.


I would actually have asked him why he didn’t finish his sushi—something else American reporters have been focusing on.


The world is lucky to have a press core from other nations—if they relied on American ones the news would be filled with 100% political gossip and fear mongering..  The great free press is lax in its responsibilities.. Hardcore questions are over.. People are more worried about sharing a cocktail at some lame D.C. bar to get more access.. They are more concerned about their big wig bosses at the network, who most likely are talking a merger with some other giant corporate conglomerate. And they are too worried about internet bloggers who they see as nothing more than reptile bile, only fitting for mocking instead of propping up.


But when they get their big chance to swing a hard question, they prod the President about his affinity for green tea ice cream..


Name your dead journalist. He or she rolls in a grave somewhere deep in the American heartland..

Breaking schmreaking..

Chuck Todd seems pretty hot under his political collar at CNN for labeling too much non news ‘breaking news’..


I’m with him on this one—CNN overdoes it. But so does FOX NEWS, perhaps even more. They overdo their loud DINGGGGGGGG echo noise each time they begin a new hour.. they say “HAPPENING NOW!” as though the world is ending.


But it never does. Instead all of the networks simply rehash the same news over and over again, calling it ‘breaking’….


The only thing I can say about NBC is this: They could be guilty of it too.. lest we forget they interrupted a Congresswoman to go live to Justin Bieber’s arraignment.. Chuck Todd may have forgotten ..




But really..


The only time I know that ‘breaking news’ is REALLY BREAKING NEWS is when NBC sends off their chimes of death. THAT is when the world does end..
