I was reading the “Whats REALLY going on” thread and was wondering, what can we do so that we can get the news to give us MORE. More ACTUAL NEWS. All I see on TV now a days is “This man got murdered in his bed, This woman was found dead and was raped, the gasoline station was jumped by 2 unknown suspects.” NONE OF THAT IS NEWS! We already know the crap that goes on everyday in our neighborhoods and in the country. But what about what’s going on behind the scenes! Why don’t they talk about the amount of plastic being dragged by the pacific gyre for more than 20 years until it’s finally spit out as microplastic which is releasing BEPHINOL-A into our water causing women to have miscarriages an chromosomal dammiage, mens swimmers to become unfertile,obesity,ADHD,diabetes, and so much more! Why don’t they talk about how this country is all about commerce and money and how big corporations are practically killing humans for money. Why don’t they talk about how Dove soaps is cutting down the forests in india to plant palm oil plants, a main ingredient in there soaps, and that by the time im 36 90% of india’s forests will be gone. Why don’t they talk about how Women in china are leaving there small farms in search of a polygomist marriage so they can survive. So many corrupt things going on in the world, and all they can find to talk about was who got shot today and who’s going to court to face prosecution tomorrow…My question is, is there any way, any website, or something that we can do so we can let the media know what we want to see and know about?!

Because there is no commercial value in it.

It’s pretty irritating alright… I don’t watch a minute of TV in my day and the radio that plays in the office I try to drown out with music from my computer… but the same worthless garbage excuse for news that you mention above still leaks through. It makes me pissed off and disgusted every time I hear it.
Satolkin in right… there is no commercial value. Our country is too absorbed in tabloid headlines and too stupid to realize or care that there are real history changing events going on in our world every day.
The most powerful tool ever is at your fingertips… and it is full of misinformation… but if you are really interested the sources are out there providing REAL news to us at the speed of light. You will not get real news from any American news sources. They ALL have agendas to spoon feed you only the garbage they decide. This source seems to be better than most…. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

yeah, that’s why sometimes I hate this country and I want to leave and not live here, but then I think…all the countries in the world are either the same or worse, so I might as well just stick around and try to make a diffrence. I don’t watch TV at all. I spend most of my time on the computer doing research & just educating myself about random things going on in our planet. TV just has a lot of garbage to offer, even in the discovery channel, all the hell they ever show is shark week! lol. Anywhoo, national geographic channel has a lot to offer about history and the past, but everyonce in a while they put on really awesome shows which is where I learned about that Pahoti thing & I also saw an episode about the history of cocaine. Very informative. Radio music is all garbage. All the songs say the same thing only its a diffrent beat there playing. Which is why I prefer the rock genre. All the songs are about something diffrent, there more personal, and the beats are wicked sick as well :)))
