What is the idea for Before It’s News?
As we were following the 2008 election, we noticed something very interesting — bloggers covered many of the breaking stories days before the alphabet soup news outlets (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, AP, MSNBC, FOX, etc.).
Important facts were omitted or ignored by the mainstream media mainly because these facts inconveniently do not fit into the memes these outlets routinely promote. In other words, there is a strong bias amongst most corporate media outlets.
Think for a moment where mainstream media gets their news…from press releases, from events and other specialized sources.
Many times, these sources are also publicly available — for example from press releases, government and university web sites and individuals with access and knowledge of newsworthy events.
Yes, journalists do investigative work to look at the facts, ask important questions and usually try to get both sides of each story, but sadly, this is becoming less frequent as the advertising revenue sources for newspapers and broadcast media have dwindled.
I will keep posting more important posts on my Website for all of you. Please give your support and love.
