Re: Re: news and facebook

[Guest guest]

Hello

I agree with you on our news here on tv - They report so much fluff and garbage

when there is real news to report. But most Americans would rather not know what

is really going on in the world. Our media does a very poor job. Speaking of

facebook which I refuse to use myself- now here in California some companies as

part of the interview are asking people to show them their facebook pages I

would think this is illegal...but I know my step daughter who is in college does

not post any photos that would be considered bad cause she knows companies look

at your facebook. She is a Junior in college and she is afraid with the economy

that she wont be able to find a job when she gets out. She is interning and

working a p/t job and still is on the deans list. At least with her job she is

now understanding taxes and how to budget. I can understand if you have kids and

your family is not near why to have facebook but it seems to have become

something else.

Ciao-

My husband and I have begun to listen to news from the PBS stations. These

are stations run without commercials and count on public support to help pay

their programs. Here in Austin we have four public stations. You do not usually

find this in other cities or states. But getting to the point, with PBS we have

discovered news from different countries reporting the economic, political, and

latest events are closer to the truth and much more detailed and factual than

the fluff we get in other stations. I just cannot get over how much news in

local and

cablestations are mostly reports of whatthe Hollywood actors are doing...most

being immoral examples to the younger set. Other news may cover a bit on the

important items but it is mostly lacking factual information and dripping with

the

station's opinionatedview.

Then there is Facebook. Facebook is beginning to reap more negative turmoil

for our young rather than

being a tool it was meant to be. It is now used to bully and send risque photos

that should not be allowed for public view...mostly by our youngsters. Nowadays

you risk alienation of your child if you chide them for using these outlets

negatively.

Children are too young to realize the potential of lifetime damage that can be

done

to their reputation and to their psyche basing their self worth on the opinion

of others

in these sites. I could go on and on with my soapbox but I better quit.

Then we wonder why we have a nation taking pills for depression, unhappiness,

and

a joyless life.

Happy to be happy,
