Why You Should Look For Innuendo In AP Stories

Most of you may not realize that the Associated Press is the source for many news stories. With ever rising expenses, newsrooms across the nation have cut staff reporters and started relying on news groups to provide stories. This is economical. It may also perpetrate the spread of news with agendas in their sources.
Read this column on glaciers

Did you notice that although the glaciers are advancing on Mount Shasta, that they are retreating on 90% of all the glaciers in the world? That's taken as a fact but later on in the story the same writer quotes scientists as saying
"...Glaciologists say most glaciers in Alaska and Canada are retreating, too, but there are too many to study them all..."
So the conclusion is, these scientists haven't studied all the glaciers but they know in their heart of hearts that what they believe is true. Here's the punchline folks. Any scientist who says with 100% certainty that something did or did not happen is lying. There's no way they can claim that. But the advocates of Global Warming continue to offer views that are absolute and that you should not question. Now ask yourself, why did this attitude come up in what is supposed to be a NEWS story? News is supposed to be the facts-name, place, time, day, what happened. What happened is that glaciers actually grew on Mount Shasta. It's happening now. Yet the writer and evidently the editors, felt it was necessary to push an agenda by finding people who would downplay the growth of the glacier by using the politspeak of Global Warming. People, this is how opinions are shaped. It's just like those subliminal images of popcorn that were flashed in movie theaters in the 1950's. They are slipping PC messages into what are supposed to be hard news stories and letting it slide into your mind. Consider this when you read any story from a source outside of the regular news reporters.

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
