What the media need to do to change

Rant time. I'm pissed at the media. And for good reason. Get a clue guys! Reporting spin from one side and then spin from the other and saying it's a balanced look at the world IS NOT YOUR JOB. You are NOT an extension of political and corporate PR departments. Your job is to get at the FACTS and report them. Let both sides decide from there how they want to "spin" the facts, but in the end, the headline and the lead must be what the facts are. If you get spin from EITHER side that is bullshit, call them on it. If they tell you the same line of crap that you can see is a lie (yes, when you present facts and someone says you are wrong, they are LYING) don't run it. Do not run a lie! If you put it in print or television, people think that it's TRUE, even when you know it's not. If you get spin from both sides and don't know which is true, DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND FIND OUT.

Do your job. Get at the FACTS. Stop acting as PR agency press release billboards.
