Media Bias

Having worked as a reporter for about five years, I believe I can recognize a few telltale signs when bias has crept into a story (I know, I know … some people think every news story is biased). I don’t think the writer even knows when he or she is doing this, but try this little experiment:

Next time you read a story in which there are two conflicting parties, and the article goes back and forth, back and forth, see who the reporter gives the last word to. I guarantee you, nine times out of ten, the person our ink-stained wretch is sympathetic to will get the final say.

Naughty babe in the news: Ashley Dupre, the young hooker who is doing battle in court with “Girls Gone Wild.”

Speaking of babes, I think I’ve established a link between my general frame of mind when I get home at night, and a daily work phenomenon: cutie sightings. There are about six Major Babes where I work, and the more of them I spot (bonus points for chit-chats) the happier I am. Today I caught sight of … one. Lori, the svelte fitness model. My mood, therefore, is one on a scale of six. Bummer.

Tonight’s exciting TV agenda: Hillary Clinton grilled by Bill O’Reilly, followed by Michael Moore on Larry King. How fun is that for someone with no real social life?

That’s all folks. Still haven’t figured out all of this site’s bells and whistles ….

I plan to use this as a diary of sorts. Unless I get bored with it. Or unless this blog-host really sucks.

I chose this site because Diane Sawyer just interviewed some high-class hooker from New York who has a blog on here. I figured, if it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for me.

I’ve been typing for 45 seconds now, and this site is beginning to suck. The window that I am typing in allows me to see just two lines at a time. That is irritating. I am no computer geek, so I do not know how to expand this window, nor should I have to — this should be more user (or drunk) friendly.

Speaking of drinks, am thinking of entering posts under two categories: Drunk or Sober. A coworker asked me today which category would be better. I told her they would probably both suck, but that when I was drunk and writing, I would no doubt be convinced that Drunk entries were works of genius.

That’s it for now, because I have to figure out the bells and whistles here ….
