The Reel Feel Thread #1 For 11/19/12: Journalism Is First Facts, Then A Conversation

Here is a segment when a real journalist and truth teller gets simply tried of having the generic "conversation" of "both sides have their story" and takes journalism to where it should always be: Pure truth-telling.

Ali Abunimah was sick and tired of Zionist propaganda amalgamated with the real full tales of Gaza pain, and told it like it was.




This is a prime example of why news conversations can only be meaningful with people that would acknowledge simple facts first instead of trying to "balance" the discussion.

I really couldn't feel bad for Ahmed here because this is the type of news segment that regularly happens on cable news and needs to not occur on an online news channel that wants to keep it fully real all the way.

Unless they just want "a conversation." Anybody can have "a conversation."

All news organizations instead should have conversations that start with acknowledging key facts before it begins. And if any guest can't abide by that, then they refuse to admit reality for their own personal appeasement.

Huff Post Live will continue to do this though I fear, and it's hosts will set itself up for embarrassment when it hosts real journalists who knows all the facts and are highly annoyed with dealing with half-truthers and people who won't acknowledge that the Earth is round, that human beings needs oxygen, and that 2 + 2 = 4.
