The first statutory duty of straight speak for politicians and officials shall apply also to the media.


With photography and news stories, it's hard not to view what one is seeing - as reality. And yet these stories and images are mostly taken out of context, and elements are suppressed and magnified, and if reality remains in the final image - it is distorted. Less of an issue when multiple perspectives colour in the true reality - but seriously problematic when interests are manipulating these distortions and their audiences for nefarious purposes.


Why and how does our view of reality get distorted through our media? Who benefits from all this? In this episode we pick over the presence and absence of major issues, who owns the media in the UK; the role of the press and how it might be fixed.


Talking points:


The main lies - our environmental predicament


News as entertainment


Truth and "balance"


The Fourth Estate myth


News ownership and political power


The friend-enemy distinction


Diversity of media, ownership and corporate governance


Constitutional court as arbiter


Noble role of journalism


Citizen scrutiny in East Lancing, Michigen
