Balanced news for idiots

I can’t believe how GMA7 can claim that they give balanced news. I think that the only unbiased news in this country comes from Business World.

Unbiased news presents facts. Unbiased news expresses unbiased opinions from third party experts. What good is the random opinion of someone who probably doesn’t know all the facts and has a personal bias? In the event that they get the opinion of those who are directly affected by the news, they are quick to point out that it is a biased opinion.

I hate and despise how GMA7 says that they put no spins to their news. How is that even possible? How can they say that they give just the news? Look at how their main male anchors deliver the news. Quite professional, huh?

Even the evening news show on Q11 seems too dressed up. Compare that to Studio 23’s News Central. Now that’s news that’s straight to the point and reflects hardly any bias. That’s quality news casting!

There are so many ways to relay an opinion. A change in punctuation or pronunciation can say so much. Even the way you phrase a fact can alter its meaning. Only idiots don’t know this so how can this giant station say that they deliver unbiased news without any spins?

Fact is, they make news to appeal to the masses. And they need to. But they shouldn’t claim that they only deliver just the news and that they have no spins. They deliver packaged news! News the way their major consumers want it delivered! Doing this only reinforces whatever opinions their audience already has. Don’t we need to get the facts straight to make our own opinions? Why do news stations reinforce opinions? It makes no sense.

If the way they deliver the news is a reflection of the capacity of the masses to digest the news, why do news stations feed on the people’s destructive incapacity instead of correcting it and subsequently raising the quality of these people’s lives? Because if they don’t, the stations will have lower ratings and will start losing money. That’s the bottom line.

In this country, perhaps because we are a third world country, our news is oppressive.

Please, I can understand why you shun the responsibility that is in your hands, but don’t claim to be angels when you truly are not. Don’t flat out lie to the people’s faces to further your ratings.
