Torn From The Headlines

I was on yahoo earlier today, and actually this has been up there all day, there was an article with the Headline that read something like, "The one actor Bill O'Reilly Won't Watch." I thought it was odd that the newsday was so slow that Bill O'Reilly was on yahoo news, yahoo's homepage all day long.
The main thing though is that the article is a pretty descent sized interview with Mr. O'Reilly and of that entire interview, only about 3-4 lines are given to the actor he won't watch. It's Sean Penn by the way, understandable. But of all the things that were said, the sensationable, not the newsworthy was placed as the header for all to see.
In case you didn't know it, the news media isn't out to sell you news. It's out to sell you papers, advertisements, time, thousands of other things, and don't forget, a point-of-view. The last thing on the list is the actual news. Remember that when the anchor man comes on to tell you about what great things President Obama has done today, or what this politician has to say, or what is hot in Hollywood.
The truth is something that is far from the newsroom nowadays, no matter what your point-of-view may be, right or left. It seems that in the mass majority of mass media, our only hope is either how close to the truth we can get, or which viewpoint we prefer.
Hitler once said, "what luck for rulers that men don't think." God bless. And don't be an automaton.
