word
i feel I don't partake in the conversation as much as I would like to, for one because It could come back to haunt me, depending on how much the powers at be are aware of my contrary view points. also yes over analyzing of my words and those of others. Although I like that I am able to form an opinion and type it out on my own time, when in a group discussion I would wind up just listing to everyone and not feel the empowerment or capability to speak out in a conversation with those that dominate them. I agree whole heartily with this post, as someone who is happily introverted and take pride that I know where I stand wether or not anyone knows of my stance or not, the mystery is valuable to me, and I lose that value with the more people that know me close. I feel like I could at any-moment open my heart to engage all the people in my network, or a select few, just as easily as it is to engage the people in my community, which brings more joy. The superficiality of some aspects of this site and narcissism and above all their business model is deplorable, but the information sharing and people connections are priceless.. I'm slowly choosing to take emails and phone numbers (it would be better if they had mine) to be involved in a smaller network closer to home because without the engagement of sun and the grass, I would have no energy to commit these words to the FB servers. knocks on the door is the only deliberate social networking I want to engage in. But I don't know anyone, and don't want to know everyone. .....to the ether.

thoughts on media
What are the major news networks providing?
Why use propaganda?
Neither am I left nor right leaning politically.
Not trying to answer all the questions of the universe; merely understanding how people can be entertained by inferior media.
At the moment, as a media student, I am very interested in unbiased impartial journalism, which Canada has been fairly decent at providing, thanks to our British roots. http://www.bbctraining.com
Reading and thinking critical comes at some effort but who knows maybe just listing to a bunch of talking heads pushing their agenda is just as an effective use of your time.
Major news outlets like fox news north, the one in question, is a form of propaganda. Canadian government, and many others use this form of media to sway the general public's opinion on matters that are relevant to them.
Keeping people fearful is one way, that is why most news is bad news.
Major disasters, celebrity scandals, petty crime, murders, car accidents, reality shows, game shows, sports entertainment, war, weather,...
The media will focus on those issues as the government quickly passes new bills in the house of commons, which benefit their corporate interest.
In Canada the government in power attempted to strike a law that inhibits news outlets from distributing lies.
America has no such law, that is why Fox New can broadcast the things they do.
This is not a dialog, this is how things are; entertaining to say the least.
Here's another side to listen to.
