Go Gore
Here’s somthing fun. On October 6 2005 former Vice-President of the United States Al Gore was speaking at We Media, an event hosted by the Associated Press under the American Media Institute. In his speech he talked about the slip of mainstream news towards sensationalism and the importance of ratings over reporting.
Gore:
The purpose of television news is no longer to inform the American people or serve the public interest. It is to ‘glue eyeballs to the screen’ in order to build ratings and sell advertising. (link)
Two things I like about this.
