Which Tannen said was their way of speeding up the process since they are set by such a strict time frame. I think it makes things very hazy, because when you have outlets that are oral and visual, you tend to get a very slanted view of things instead of the facts. I think what she said about news becoming entertainment is true also. There's a lot of ranting and raving going on in the news and not enough informing. I'll bring in the new Newsweek which is now creating a drama out of the re-newed interest in bombing Iraq.
Nobody wants to see original movies high in creativity.
Nobody wants to hear artistic expression in music. But that's the way things work. In my RTF class we are discussing how situations in the media, even on sitcoms, affect us. I know this is a little off subject. That in our case, life is imitating art instead of the other way around.
