CNN Facepalm

CNN to Produce Political Game Show

Remember when CNN was a respected news outlet?  Me neither.

The Difference Between News Sources

It's interesting the way that I react to the same news story being told by different news sources.

3D-printed paws allow lame dog to run!

When I read this story I thought that it was intensely interesting and am more interested in seeing technology like this utilized in other ways.

This is a story that I fast forwarded through when it ran on my local news, which I do with all of the stories that are presented by Jeanne Moos.  Interesting.

Again, I Like Vice Magazine

On Thursday, Vice Magazine posted an article about violent protests going on in Bangkok.  What?  You mean you haven't heard of these protests?  That's okay, neither had I.  This is a story that has gone largely unreported in the American press.  Of course, CNN may have done a story about it, but I haven't watched that shit since the debacle that was their coverage of the Boston Bombings.

This is why people should get their news from a diverse number of sources.  There are lots of stories out there that don't get ample coverage in the American press that people should know about.  There can also be differences between the way that one news source covers a story in comparison to another.  Details, knowledge, insight, bias, all of these things can be known and sorted through if you get your story from multiple sources.

Where am I going with this?  What is the point of this?  What differentiates this blog post from any of the other blog posts that tell people to not trust the media?  Do I have an ending for this?  Hey, look a kittie.
