Yesterday, the main stream media (MSM) grabbed a story in its jaws and ran like crazy until the Director of the EPA could get it under control. The headlines ran along the lines of "OMB Disagrees with EPA findings on Greenhouse Gases."
The truth, as the OMB later offered, was something different.
So why did the MSM run so hard and so fast with this story line? Isn't the MSM predominantly from the far left and shouldn't they be behind the Obama administration and not against it? The answer is, money.
The fourth estate is a business. That business seeks to exploit the truth for stories that highlight controversy, contradiction, conflict and conspiracy. When you read, listen or watch MSM news stories, think of those stories in the light of the four c's. It will blow your mind.
There is more spin in the MSM than in a child's top. The target of the story is irrelevant. The goal of a story is too hook the reader with controversy, contradiction, conflict or conspiracy and gain your viewer/reader/listenership.
