Manufacturing the News
Via Powerline, ABC News is soliciting information about military funerals on Inauguration Day:
Jan. 19, 2005 — For a possible Inauguration Day story on ABC News, we are trying to find out if there any military funerals for Iraq war casualties scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 20. If you know of a funeral and whether the family might be willing to talk to ABC News, please fill out the form below:
This seems backwards: 1) Decide thesis of news story. 2) Find evidence. I guess the News is more art than science.
Comments:
Ironic considering Brian Ross was on the daily show not two days ago espousing the lack of political motivation in news reporting at ABC. I guess he was unaware of this add by his organization or to blind to see the obvious political bias.
