Subject: Re:but they sure do focus on the negative
(V): I'm referring more specifically to coverage like the war or a protest march. If a news organization is going to report on improprieties of the military, then they ought also to report on the good that is being done. Many decent men are serving the call of their country and doing good humanitarian work as well as combat. When something negative occurs, it should be placed in the larger context of the whole and not isolated. So in the case of the protesters, it's important to report the law breaking incidents but to also cover those that followed the law and kept their part of the protest peaceful.
