(At one time that meant spending about $200 to watch the same movie repeatedly while it was still in the theaters.) For them dialogue became quotable, details like clean boots became apparent, out of period clothing shouted, and camera angles became obvious.<br /><br />The patterns are different and probably more sophisticated in “journalism” but the idea is similar to watching movies repeatedly. One who reads or watches the news diligently sees the mechanics and techniques and the flaws of reporting.<br /><br />It must be very disappointing to read & watch local news that’s determined to be happy time junk news. I subscribe to The NY Times. The Times has its editorial flaws too, some maddeningly serious. Too many smiling faces doesn’t seem to be one. Fortunately, the internet enables us to get news from some good sources. One must still be viligent and think critically.<br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.com
