tara complains about old media and its taste for stories instead of facts:

I would like to watch the news and see accountable reporting that tells the facts, not the story. Books are for stories. I paid for home delivery of the newspaper and everyday I get a paperback in a plastic bag. What you read in the paper you see on the nightly news. It is the same story over and over again. They rarely bring attention to people who advocate significant change. If they do happen to release a story on advanced, progressive individuals and ideas, it might only be to expose a tattered past or anything remotely scandalous and of course violence.
There are a lot of fine journalists, but there is no good reporting here. Who, what, when, where, why have all been replaced by yellow journalism. The media is just another fast food industry. It has reduced the thinking public to attention spans and shock effect.

i completely agree with tara, and have long ago stopped reading papers or watching television. how people can waste time watching local tv is beyond me. a good newsreader provides much higher quality information, and a blog allows to write back. hopefully i will be able to contribute to this sea change with the blog business plan.
