Okay, now I'm sure that there are many people out there who are celebrating the engagement of Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger. It's cute that they have a mingled nickname (Chavril), like other great celeb couples (e.g. Brangelina). But, dear God, even the Globe's now had two (maybe three) stories on this including a blog on "What other Canadian musicians should be a couple?". It merits one line in an entertainment news column, not multiple stories and an interactive blog.

Ape no like celebrity culture :(

It may sound strange to hear this from an academic historian - but Ii think sources are much overvalued in most areas of thought - especially in understanding the news.

When Staff Sgt. Major Bales killed 27 people, all the news reports carried the story that he had acted alone, left his camp in the middle of the night with his rifle and a few gallons of gasoline, walked a coujple of mlies to a village, killed 17 people, set fire to the bodies, walked back to the base, and surrendered and convessed.

From Global's FB page:

 We’re sorry the news was pre-empted tonight due to the Survivor Finale. We’ll have updates on the situation in Slave Lake on our website and the latest developments on the morning news at 5:30 AM Monday.

Pathetic!

Aren't top news stories supposed to interrupt tv shows, not the other way around?

 BREAKING NEWS:

Another earthquake has hit Christchurch in New Zealand... 

2.08pm: Police say "multiple fatalities" have been reported at several locations in the central city. This includes two buses crushed by falling buildings. A doctor and emergency services are attending.

2.04pm: Key advises people to leave the central city. Evacuees will be looked after, he says.

a friend of mine posted this story on facebook and i thought i would share it just to change up the boards and add a new discussion.  this story is not a big surprise, and i know there are alot of people who frequent this forum that will be saying "and this is news because?!?", but i feel it further adds to your point(s).  the media is well known for fabricating the truth but when it's this blatent, why aren't more people worried?  should the media be held responsible for their actions and misinformation?  it's times like this that further my support for freedo

Hi Everyone;

I registered in my Nursing program today and will start January 18th.  Which means that I am only free for two more weeks.  :(  Before I have to study and do assignments.

I was watching the news on TV tonight - CBC, I think - when I heard a statement that was so ordinary, it almost blew by me. It was propaganda delivered as news. And I'm sure it was not deliberate. I'm sure it was just an example of how our perceptions get in the way of understanding what it really going on.

With GC40 about to start, and everyone waiting with baited breath for the decisions the commissioners will make, it’s probably worthwhile to understand how the GC News will work. I’m basing my comments on my work at previous GC’s.
