Media Bias, Media Ignorance?

Is the media being fair in its coverage of this news story?

Many peo­ple would like the answer to that ques­tion because it appears that they are mak­ing a lot out of noth­ing, is there real­ly noth­ing else on to talk about?

Is the media becom­ing the new threat to the Amer­i­can Dream?

This head­line, from Yahoo is a good exam­ple of a dubi­ous use of fear in an arti­cle.  Notice how they say it is unprece­dent­ed debt default, but did not Greece do the same thing not so long ago, so is it real­ly unprece­dent­ed?  Just curi­ous what the media might be up to with its use of lan­guage, are they try­ing to force some­thing to hap­pen?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Con­gres­sion­al lead­ers rushed to line up Repub­li­can and Demo­c­ra­t­ic votes on Mon­day for a White House-backed deal to raise the U.S. bor­row­ing lim­it and avert an unprece­dent­ed debt default.

 

They say that were in a cri­sis, that things are real­ly bad, that the sky is falling do you real­ly believe those bafoons, (alleged­ly)

You have to won­der just what is going on inside their heads, (if you could stand it that is)

Is the media try­ing to pro­duce a run on the banks?

Are they try­ing to influ­ence the stock mar­ket, (is that legal)

What is the objec­tive of the news when they seem to be try­ing to influ­ence polit­i­cal events with news cov­er­age?
