Newstainment does not treat current affairs with the respect it deserves. For that, you need a Newseum. This construction site is on Constitution Ave, in Washington DC, about three blocks from the Capitol. I'm pretty sure that it's completely serious.

Why the hell does every second thing in America have the word "Freedom" in it? Do they think if they SAY it enough they will have it? ... Guys... it don't work like that! | [Article]A trip to the newseum (#3)

The newseum is entirely serious. Just the same as chocolate-chip pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick, it does exist, and it's rather disgusting. It is a "museum" of American "journalism" that includes a display on how hard it was for reporters to cover 9/11 in a 'fair-and-balanced way' (I'm assuming that has something to do with not acting like the crazy-Hindenburg-guy, but I'm not sure) and it also has an interactive stage where you can be just like a real-reporter.
Just another example of the self-glorification my country has to offer! | Re: [Article]A trip to the newseum (#3)

To be fair, it'd be hard to be on the ground and report that dispassionately...I think with 911 though, the problem was reporting afterwards, the milking of sentiment and the villifying of foreigners long after the event.
They banned the song Walk like an Egyptian after 911. | Re: [Article]A trip to the newseum (#3)

Bookworm: Sorry, I'll make a note to try and not post on old threads anymore.
As for 911 coverage, it was horrible, both during and after the attacks. It seems to me that news coverage in general is horrible. Being dispassionate isn't the issue, I don't think. It's better for the journalistic community to care about the issues in my opinion, but I don't believe that most journalists really cared about the 911 attacks, if they had they wouldn't have acted the way they did. The whole incident was used as a ratings cash-cow, still is actually.
I was wondering why I hadn't heard "Walk like an Egyptian" lately.
Paul Keating: I'm terribly sorry to intrude in your country... it's just that my country tells me that I'm not a real American, so I just don't know what to do. (Act like an american and invade another country like I own the world in the hopes that I'll find one to move to, or start eating as many Jimmy Dean pancake-wrapped sausage on a sticks as I can and develop a deep-seated hatred for all that seems foreign. Right now, I'm working on the first option.)
My deepest apologies to you and your country. | Re: [Article]A trip to the newseum (#3)
