I do not write often, and maybe I should.... but this morning I really got upset....after monitoring the Crisis in Kiev for over a week, last night I was reading AP wires that said the standoff had reached an impasse and the Minister of Interior was not going to continue to remove the protesters..that was 11:20 PM last night. Today at 4:50 AM the written AP cables and others kept reporting that this is so..... but the Visual media (CNN) and others are running their footage of the clashes earlier in the evening yesterday..... not the relative calm of today....
It shows you that the written media, is more accurate to get your information. The visual media needs to show the turmoil, and delays the news, delivers it through the day after they have exploited the visual effect regardless if it is currently happening or not.....
If you thought printed newspapers were old news, guess again.. television plays with images that are 18 hours or older to entertain you visually when in fact, they know it is no longer the actual thing....
Read, look for the news first, don't let television give you teaspoons of visual news, outdated and maybe not relevant
