[1547]
{F Uh, } I get most of my news {F uh, } from newspapers really. /I read the daily newspaper, {F uh, } the HOUSTON CHRONICLE /{C and } sometimes I'll read {D like } the, {F uh, } WALL STREET or the NEW YORK TIMES. /I don't subscribe to either, /{C but } sometimes I get a hold of copies of it. /{F Uh, } how about you? /Do you, {F uh, } mostly --
[1534]
Yes. /
[1547]
-- get things from T V or (( )). /
[1534]
I actually get most of my news coverage off {F uh, } computer networks. /However, I do also watch television news, {F uh, } usually in the morning once a day /{C and } I read the front page of the WALL STREET JOURNAL --
[1547]
Oh. /
[1534]
-- most every day. /
[1547]
{F Oh } that's interesting. /You said computer networks. /{F Uh, } [ what, + {F uh, } what ] sort. /# I am fairly knowledgeable of (( )) <
[1534]
# {F Uh } [ {D well, } + {D well } ] DOW JONES for example [ have the, + cause the ] # --
[1547]
{F Uh, } okay. /That's interesting. /
[1534]
-- {F uh, } news wire - /{C and } it's picked up and actually available, {F uh, } at my office, /{C so, } it's, no fee, or subscription either to read at my leisure /{C and } it's sort of by category. /For example --
[1547]
Oh. /I-,
[1534]
-- so I can read a certain business or topics. /
[1547]
-- [ is it, +
[1534]
[1547]
is it ] the A P news wire /{C or } is it something that is, {F uh, } a little bit different from that? /
[1534]
{D Well, } {F uh, } it's similar to that, /{C but } it's DOW JONES,
[1547]
{F Uh, } okay. /{C So, } [ that's + that's ] interesting. /Okay. /Yeah, /[ I've had, + I had ] access in the past to, {F uh, }
[1534]
{F Uh, } {D well } actually not. /{F Uh, } I do, {F uh, } follow, {F uh, } {F uh, } {F uh, } - /I don't know [ how to + how to ] describe it
[1547]
Yeah
[1534]
-- [ but, + {F uh, } but ] [ not, + {F uh, } not ] like BUSINESS WEEK or NEWS WEEK or one of those kinds of things. /I'd like to say [ that + however, {F uh, } that ] I'm overwhelmingly disappointed with the media in general except for the raw news wires
[1547]
In what way? /[ In {D like, } + in sort of {D like, } ] {F uh, } [ qual-, + {F uh, } quality ] or sort of an orientation in terms of {D like, } view point or the way the news is presented or whatever? /
[1534]
[1547]
# Yeah. /{D Well } you won't offend me. /{C So } go ahead and say
[1534]
-- # that there's a strong bia-, ] + there's a strong bias ] # in the media. /
[1547]
Yeah. /Like a liberal type of bias. /
[1534]
Yeah. /Absolutely. /{F Uh, } after all, [ who, + who ] writes. /People who are journalist who are trained to write /{C and } [ they're, + that's ] [ a liberal, + {F uh, } a liberal field ] --
[1547]
Yeah. /
[1534]
-- at least from academia /{C and, } {F uh, } the other thing that I always notice is that whenever they write about something that I'm an expert in, I find their descriptions to be wrong -- /
[1547]
Yeah. /Yeah. /
[1534]
-- {C and } it, -/
[1547]
[ They, + they ] generally make mistake on anything technical at least <
[1534]
That's right. /{D Well, } even if it's not technical. If it's, {F uh, } some social thing or whatever. It doesn't matter. /If I am an expert in it, they usually make mistakes which makes me [ believe + think ] I'm not expert in it. /They're telling me lies. /
[1547]
Yeah. /Yeah. /[ Do you, + by mistakes, do you ] mean just like honest mistakes /{C or } do you think they are deliberate sorts of things? /
[1534]
{F Uh, } I think both. /{F Uh, } by deliberate [ I, + {F uh, } I ] mean [ mistake, + mistakes ] of omission [ or, + {F uh, }
[1547]
Yeah. /Yeah. /
[1534]
-- a particular liberal --
[1547]
Yeah. /
[1534]
-- view point ] that they have. /
[1547]
Yeah. /
[1534]
{D So, } {F uh, } {F uh, } to give you an example, {F uh, } we will go out of the printing media. /I know of cases where, {F uh, } we have one television media where they will show
[1547]
{F Huh. } /
[1534]
Which is sort of like a deliberate bias.
[1547]
{F Huh. } That's disturbing. /
[1534]
[ Which is + which is ] rather disturbing. /# {E I mean } he does that. # /
[1547]
# I haven't # really noticed them doing that, /{C but } whatever, /again I don't watch T V news that much now. /If I had access to C N N, I would watch T V news more. /{F Uh, } [ I don't + {D you know, } {C but } I don't ] usually. /
[1534]
Yeah, /I don't have access either. Although, I did at one time /{C and } it was, - /I did during the Gulf War
[1547]
Yeah. /[ Did you, + did you ] think that [ C N N, + {D well, } the Gulf War coverage ] would be kind of, {F uh, } an abnormality? /I just wonde-, I guess. /
[1534]
Yeah, /{D well } during that small sample, I would think that everyone was [ just about, + just about ] the same, except the three networks, (( )) radio television programming. /
[1547]
Yeah. /
[1534]
{C So, } if at a particular time, you wanted to get the latest and greatest news --
[1547]
Yeah. /
