THIS is what is wrong with our mainstream media. And Bill Maher - TopicsExpress



          

THIS is what is wrong with our mainstream media. And Bill Maher too, but more specifically the media. Take six minutes. Update: When I first posted this clip and commented on it (shown above), I quite clearly made a generalization about whats wrong with mainstream media as a whole, based on the specific speech of the two CNN reporters featured in this clip. If I had stopped to think for a second before passing such rash judgment, I wouldnt have made the same mistake these CNN reporters had made by making a vast generalization about a larger group of people to easier validate my own quick judgments and perceptions. Sweeping generalizations are easy to make and everyone will slip and make them, which is why Im okay admitting that I hypocritically made one literally five seconds after watching this clip that clearly shows the danger in doing so. Let my mistake serve as an example of the point that Reza Asian is making here with these two specific CNN reporters about the danger in so easily making sweeping generalizations about larger groups of people (Muslim countries in this case) and passing broad judgments on those groups based on those sweeping generalizations.
