Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Should there be a Law with Requirments to Brand your Company News?

just something i thought of as i was reading some of these political posts and alot of people don't believe sources branded as News, CNN, FOX, New York Times, Washington Post, ect ect ect...

Reporters Sue FOX TV-Inside Story
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1212.htm

told by station manager David Boylan: "We paid $3 billion for these television stations. We will decide what the news is. The news is what we tell you it is."
http://www.fair.org/extra/9806/foxbgh.html


Should there be a Law that Clearly States Requirements that a Company must meet to Brand Themselves as News and if they do not meet those Requirements should be Branded as Opinion the word OPINION MUST be made APPERANT and Obvious that the material that your reading is not FACTUAL NEWS!

and I for 1 would love to make the 1st rule to brand yourself news as NO CELEBRITY DIVORCE, OJ, BRITTANY, or any other CRAP that wastes my time, u can have Entertainment tonight and Access Holywood crap for that lol

We have enough laws. Fox has done the same thing for years. It has taken a while, but most people know Fox News is bias.
What I don't agree with, is one network being able to buy up it's competition. As in Clear Channel. But then again, thats another law.
Because, I have a remote control, and I have a channel selector button. And for the remaining few truckers that still support lil hitler, I have a squelch. And it works great.

yeah i keep hearing about that on the Ed Schultz show, he was saying for the past 2 days that there is a ruling the FCC is working on to allow MORE Consolidation of media... but alos Cross Merging.. Like TV Companies being able to Buy News papers and Radio Stations...

WHY is no one Screaming ANTI TRUST!!!! where is the Supreme Court breaking up this crap, why would they wait for it to get where Bell was before breaking it up.... Everywhere u look there is no mom and pop, Greed Rules the Day and no one can be happy with what they have...

I think a law Mandating certain rules and regulations to Brand yourself as a news outlet would increase American trust in news sources after they have been approved

o yeah about those 2 articles i posted the court ruled in Favor of Fox News..

Because from the outside looking in, the media appears to be market driven. As when the Republicans are messing up, democratic media pops up. Which is somewhat true. But, when your in the middle ofa bunch of voting NEOCONS (aka east Texas) and there is no media from the other side, you just don't know there is anything other than Rush or Fox.

Thank God for Satelite Radio.

i think 1 reason why everyone Screams about how bad equal time was, is because they didn't read the law, equal time does not require Equal Time like Ron paul Spoke on Fox for 15min 43sec then Dennis Kucnich should get 15min 43sec is wrong,

the Law required who ever to offer an opposing View point but not for the exact same time...

I remember Ed Schultz got pretty mad that the Pentagon halted his broadcast to our troops. Rush gets to the troops. Why can't Ed. Or Mike Malloy? There are "truth seekers" in our military.
