Marta, I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s truely amazing how some reporters will try to make a story about something as insignificant as an innocent comment. It’s like they are trying to create a whole new issue or stir up a hornet’s nest about nothing. The sad thing is, 90% of the time they succeed.

I also want to say how much I enjoy your shows. You are a very talented lady and I think you’ll make a name for yourself there in LA. Keep up the good work….you’re great!!!

Fantastic. It’s amazing to me, how very few people really think about how the news is created. So many people believe every single thing they see on the news is an “absolute fact” and that the anchors are giving them what really is the most important information for the day. When in fact the news is created in much the same way as a tabloid; let’s print what sells. For me, it took being on the other side of the articles and reading what the press had to say about my work, in order to understand that a good portion of the news is outright fiction. It should be a journalist’s job to translate the day’s events into something that makes sense to a viewer who is not well-versed in the history or significance of the day’s events. Unfortunately, what we’re seeing more often than not in the news, is a group of news media *creating* news from insignificant events, such as Sen Clinton’s off-hand comment. And, to me, it is unfortunate that the majority of the public believes wholeheartedly that what they are seeing in the evening news, or headline news, or on-line news, is completely and truely real.

Marta, I love your show. Keep up the good work.

Marta you are so right. The ‘News’ is subjective. It depends on which channel gets there first. Even in the UK we are suffering from US ‘election overload’ and alot of it is the, he said, she said variety. Meanwhile Kenya is in danger of going down the pan, Zimbabwe is in the hands of a madman, Darfur starves and bleeds and Kosovo holds it’s breath to see which side blinks first. Oh and jolly old Pakistan has held an election today……well there were ballot boxes out and bits of paper were put in them.

Keep up the good work. x

It isn’t just teevee news. I’m a former newspaper city editor who frequently questioned the editor in chief’s story selection for A1. His rationale was typically, “Well, the (San Jose) Mercury News had it.” Uh, yeah — they’re a major metro a.m. and we were a small-town p.m. Good call, bunky.

Hell, go to (hope I coded that right) and see how many U.S. papers have the same stories on A1. Lemmings, I tell you! Freakin’ lemmings!

Btw, Marta — I was all set to not like you at first glance; I saw another News Twinkie. But, gawrsh, you’re just aDORable, and smart ‘n’ stuff. I’m gonna post Gnooze all over the left-wing site where I hang out.
