So your saying that the MSM is completely out of balance in their reporting on these matters or is it that they are reporting it exactly as they see it coming in, and sadly it's just the lopsided stats that don't lie in which places them in an awkward position by this when they would rather it be different, and so they are just using the cards that they are dealt with no matter how it makes people feel when they do this ? Or is it that they are just hell bent of bending it all in the ways in which they want to, and they are doing it for political theater or for what ever other reasons in which they may have that throws the red flags down all over the place maybe when they do this ?It can be done if they are reported by each community, and then lifted in a balanced way to the main stream media for the final reporting of the incidents. It may be done like this already, but the stats are just lopsided so much that they are what they are, and that's just the way that it goes until things get better somehow.40 murders a day on average in the USA and Nova thinks the national media should be reporting them all.
Considering my experience from working in the media it can't be done.
national media writes the stories and local outlet's only parrot reports from the AP(they pay for this). Local stories are written by local reporters. A 30 minute broadcasts only have effectively 22 minutes after commercials. so to squeeze every murder in to a segment of the news and still provide the local weather and sports would leave a broadcaster just about 8 minutes to tell of all the nationals murders. Same with national media outlets, except the national outlets can only use affiliate stations to run stories or the nationals have to pay extra for them.
