No More Tabloid Journalism, Pleeese!

By Diane Marie (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments

No More Tabloid Journalism, Pleeese! Chris Hansen with an all-new investigation: Dateline NBC: 'To Catch a Predator' "[snip]...when they tried to arrest one more... something happened that has never happened in any of our investigations before: Police moved in on the suspect at his home... and there were deadly consequences." This is the high-end version of tabloid. I don't know about you, I can only speak for myself , but I've had it adnauseam with 'To Catch a Predator.' How long is this 'show' running now, including re-runs on MSNBC? We get it. Okay? Imagine if Dateline did this kind of never-ending investigation on the Bush-Cheney cabal? Wouldn't that be too authentic. But no, we have pumped into our living rooms this strange and tragic Owellian prime-time 'entertainment,' and no mistake, the producers consider it 'entertainment' showcasing individuals who are in desperate need help PRIVATELY! MY GOD, WHAT IS GOING ON?!!! And how unbelievable is it that a suicide arguably caused by NBC's unholy 'predator' entertainment ON-GOING SERIES, even this tragedy is flipped over into more gruel for the masses. Give me a break; are we now a bunch of monkeys? Where are the real investigations? No one has the walnuts, that's where. Chris Hansen needs a real job -- and we need to do the Dateline Predator tune out. If you're squeamish about objecting, then maybe get ready for prime time 'Abortionists Lock-Up;' 'Death Chamber Relatives;' ' The Bitter Half;' 'Tight Sweaters And Loose Habits.' Excuse me while I go scream now.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
