Default Re: What is wrong with the media??

Think of it this way: news people write/cover stories tailored for their local audience. In San Fracisco this kind of "reporting" sells. In Alabama, for example, a reporter might say that the new Camaro is wonderful and that he (or she) can't wait to buy one. The SF "reporter" has succeeded in getting our attention and if he knew that a popular musclecar site was reacting negatively to his article he would probably be happy and think "mission accomplished." The one thing "reporters" like this guy is scared of is being ignored. That would be my suggestion: ignore this guy.
