Are we best served by a News media that focuses on personal problems or national problems?

A crises in a families life may be of immediate local concern but does it serve us for the national media to spend hours and days on issues that are in essence personal.

Why does our US news media rank by total medals and not by total gold medals for the Olympic games?
Q. According to the International Olympic Committee, The ranking is sorted by the number of gold medals. In a gold medal tie, the ranking is then sorted by the number of silver medals, and in a gold + silver medal tie, the ranking is then sorted by the number of bronze medals. As such, aren't most US news media, including Yahoo! Olympic coverage, intentionally misleading us when they rank by total medal instead of gold medals?

A. Why do the US media do it this way? I don't know, but there is no logic to it and no-one else in the world does it this way. Certainly not the IOC and contrary to what someone else said - this does matter, because they are the governing body. It's not up to anyone else to determine what medals mean. The system used by the US media means that 15 Bronze medals are worth more than than 10 Gold and 4 Silver which is clearly nonsense. You could perhaps award a number of points for each type of medal, but such a system could be weighted in so many different ways that there could never be any agreement. There may be a precedent for this if you look at the New York Times article from 1912 it says that the USA won the Olympics with the most points.… [cont.]

Why is the news media, seemingly, trying to use its influence to destroy the world economy?
Q. Maybe things are a little bit bad. But the news media seems to be pushing for things to be worse. I even know of a few people who have been laid off in preemptive lay-offs; the company that laid them off, technically, wasn't hurting yet. But they laid them off because they expected to be hurting in the future, mostly because of new reports and forecasts.

However, the BBC might be laughing up it's sleeve at the huge and rich colony that got away, implying that if India had not become independent but had stayed part of the Empire they'd be better off now.

If this society is a democracy, why are the same people controlling the news media pretty much all the time?
Q. Instead of some narrow-minded narcissist like Ann Coulter or a socially myopic Robert Novak getting all of the "air-time" or "news print," why are there no shows or news in which common people are offered equal time. If the subject is homelessness, I don't need to hear hours of mindless blather from uncaring, hatemongering republicans; I would probably listen if there were some homeless people given a chance to speak for themselves, and given an opportunity to put forth some creative ideas and solutions though. It's not possible to have a democracy when the news media is controlled by the "haves," to the exclusion of the "have-nots." Moreover it seems to be beyond salvage, as no one is challenging it. People seem to think it's "cool"… [cont.]

Hugs! is the news media too soft on nobama? Why is he given every opportunity to retract all his mistakes?
Q. Does it feel like the news media gives nobama every chance to respin his mistakes? Is the first impression the right impression or are you gullible to accept his politically corrected spin after initially speaking his TRUE feelings?
