Several media outlets have used the same headline |
|
Network Tv, Print, Cable Tv have all used the same headline on the internet.
This must be proof that they are being told what to say by the White House.
They are all in competition with each other, so why they use the same headline.
I guess they all like the word FORCEFULLY.
BELOW IS THE HEADLINE.
"Bush Forcefully Attacks Iraq Critics"

5. Most newspapers copy AP, Reuters, press releases etc. |
|
If you are lucky they'll slightly change the stories, but there's hardly any independent journalism left.
So somebody wrote it, they'll copy it, change two sentences and add one more sentence and that's it. That's why they don't like blogs, because those people do a lot more journalism...

6. I wish that I could find the link, but there was some discussion a while |
|
back (esp. a RW dittododo/freepturd claiming it), saying that the newspapers/etc. have a choice in using the headline provided, or they can make their own.
Usually argued that the "liberal media" is the one making sure the headline (what most sheep read, if that, if they read a paper) "smears Bush".
