Politics in the Media

“ When the two political parties provide the media with analysts,
that can argue the issue from the only two valid points of view,
“right” and “left”, these disputes are settled graciously in media forums such as
Crossfire, Hardball, and Fuck You with Pat Buchanan and Brit Press.
In return for help killing time, the media agrees not to analyze the truthfulness
of the debate, only which team seemed to be winning.” Jon Stewart The Daily Show
I am a News Broadcasting major at the University of Florida and I hope this web site will
help to guide you on how to cover political news stories. Every major news source has
their own opinion on how this should be done. What I want you to do is form your own guidelines
and live by your own code of ethics. Ashley

"Yes, our press has never been freer, its status never quo-er.
By removing the investigative journalism, today's modern media finally has
the time to pursue the ultimate goal the Founding Fathers envisioned for
newsgathering organizations: To raise the stock price of the media empire
that owns them!!!!!!" Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart has emerged this year as a political newscaster himself. Even though his show
"The Dailyshow" is suposed to be an entertainment news cast many Americans have looked to him
for their daily dose of politics.Stewart doesn't claim to be an expert on the subject but that doesn't
stop him from sharing his point of view either.It seems that most Americans expect political coverage
to be some what entertaining these days.Proof of this is found in American sources of news.
