When did news reporting change from informing the public of facts to using the news hour(s) as a platform to sway public opinion? Some people in the news are talking about the blatant bias we currently are experiencing, but nothing is being done to change this. There does not seem to be much truth in reporting anymore. Why do you think this has been allowed to evole this way?

You always have to shift through a news report-whether on TV or in print. Each has it's own agenda also, besides the report itself. The days of the anchors we listened to and believed everything-Cronkite, Brinkley and the rest-are long gone. I think disillusionment set in during the mid-60s, but it existed before that when newspapers first began.

That's entertainment. 
We need to not take information that is given us at face value and jump to conclusions. We should queston and research. The news is supposed to be facts, but only certain facts are presented to us. There is only a certain amount of time on a broadcast and a certain amount of space on a page.

Or, for those who prefer to be informed rather than amused, there's the BBC.

The question was about America!!
"When did news reporting change from informing the public of facts to using the news hour(s) as a platform to sway public opinion" relates to an American phenomenon. The place has been called "The United States of Amnesia" to reflect this tendency to forget the past and ignore present reality while inventing useless high-tension entertainment like Amber Alerts.
It's Gore Vidal's phrase, not mine. I'd love to have coined it but I'm not that clever.

Some people in the news are talking about the blatant bias we currently are experiencing, but nothing is being done to change this. There does not seem to be much truth in reporting anymore. Why do you think this has been allowed to evole this way?
The media is not reporting in a bias fashion to sway public opinion. They are not that powerfull and your government is guilty of proganda in the first instance to sway American opinion that it needs to fund a terrorist Israeli government. Does your government for example advertise the fact that the American tax-payer has been donating to the average 2 billion Dollars it give's Israel every year since 1971? While your own country is in financial meltdown, your government continue's to tax you and give it to the Israeli government.
The invasion of Gaza and the murder of innocent Palistinian's is reported as it is....with fact. The media also reports fairly on rocket attacks on Southern Israel by Hamas, however, Hamas is not killing 1,055 (the latest figure) innocent people, one third of being confirmed as children. Hamas is not causing new born babie's dying because they have cut off electricity in hospitals. Hamas is not bombing the UN compound depriving children of basic food and water after 'Rice' told them not to. Hamas is not herding women and children into safe houses and then bombing them 24 hours later.
The rest of the world reports the facts. America shields you from it. On another thread, i was even asked by an American to back up with a link that the UN compound had been bombed. So, propoganda or factual reporting??????

The last time I counted there were 35 children in the entire history of Amber Alerts from the entire US added up over all the years that the scheme has been in existence who weren't either related to the person accused of taking them or with that person with initial parental permission. That was in 2007.
The whole scheme nationally had declared 198 alerts. Ever. That was in 2007, I don't imagine the picture's changed a lot.
By what stretch of linguistic abuse can you say "Children are being located through this all the time" given that the scheme covers over 300 million people?
Would you like to tell me my numbers are wrong?

I'm utterly delighted to have had my 1997 figures brought up to date.
What does The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children have to do with Amber Alerts? Absolutely nothing whatever.
Twelve years of national statistics for Amber Alerts totals around 500 cases solved and unsolved, successful and unsuccessful? Less than one child per state per year? That's so pathetic. I rest my case. Every Amber Alert masks several hundred genuinely missing children on low priority going-nowhere reports who stay lost. Even The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children lists sixteen thousand of them reported and still missing.

Britain is considering using the Amber Alert system.
I'd far rather go with a truely inspiring lady called 'Sarah Payne' and her 'Sarah's Law'.
This is the right for every mother to be imformed of the wher-abouts of every sex offenders residence should they need to consult the national register.

I once saw a site that shows the list of sex offenders-I forget what it was. But I pulled it up, since there is an elementary school across the street. Someone one block away on the list showed up, I was surprised they were allowed to live so close to young children., there are restrictions on how close they can be to schools.

The one thing the site listing sex offenders by ZIP code I saw did not do was to give a realistic indication of the severity of the offence that gave rise to the listing.
It is very possible that a person with a low grade offence who is not considered to be a danger to others would be allowed to live that close.

The US has this also. You can go on the net and it will show with a star on a map every sex offender. It is truely frightening to see. Neighborhoods you would think are free of these kinds of people, are not. It's a real eyeopener.
This plus the Amber Alert and anything else they can come up with to catch these creeps is good.

Yes, you are right, Bryn. It just listed the offender, the address, and restricted area.

My middle daughter was friends with a girl in the neighborhood and then we found out her dad was on the sex offenders list. Needless to say, daughter wasn't allowed over there again.
I think one way to look at the list is too look more for the older offenders because they are the ones that have probably done the worst offences. The young one are probably more apt to have done something with an underage kid, yet not so far apart in age. Of course I do know of a couple of younger offenders that have commited terrible acts toward younger children. Oh well, I just contradicted myself and guess mine is a moot point.

When something is first started, it never runs as good as it will when they streamline it to get the best information out of the system. Right now, something is better than nothing. You err with the safety of the children.

Did you ever find out what her dad had done to be put on the register? That his daughter was allowed to live at home and still did is interesting.
Given that listing is usually for life regardless of the original offence and that young people get older I'm not sure your rule of thumb will be too reliable.
These sites need to give a severity rating or they are worse than useless - they will actually make the situation worse.

He molested one of his daughters friends at about 12yrs old. He didn't live there, he wasn't allowed, but we found out he did get in some unauthorized visits.
Our offenders are only on the list for 10yrs. I don't know how the other states are.

The range of offences that can lead to a person being places on the sex offender's register is so broad that I'm not sure you're right. When Sarah's Law and its equivalents in other countries were first proposed there was a lot of debate that, unless the information was presented in a meaningful way, a lot of damage could be done to the communities involved and that included harming the children in those communities. The fear was centred around exactly the type of website being described where every entry is labelled paedophile.

I'm thankful that our register isn't like that. It does give a brief description of what their offence was...such as: molestation under 15, rape, etc...

Our offenders are only on the list for 10yrs. I don't know how the other states are.
Likely jail time if you reported him then.
Here, the rules are :-
It depends on the offence. Those given a jail sentence of more than 30 months for sexual offending are placed on the register indefinitely. Those imprisoned for between six and 30 months remain on the register for 10 years, or five years if they are under 18. Those sentenced for six months or less are placed on the register for seven years, or three and a half years if under 18. Those cautioned for a sexual offence are put on the register for two years, or one year if under 18.
Thus, if you are cautioned for taking a pee behind the wrong bush after a night down the pub you'll be on the register for two years. A site that just shows those on the register with no indication of severity will not differentiate between you and the worst serial child rapist.

Since we stopped our daughter from going there, we didn't know when he was there, so we couldn't report him...I'm sure they'd have to catch him in the act. I'm in Illinois so what I wrote was for our state.

I realise that, I'm just surprised that the mother allows him to visit whilst his daughter's friends are present in breach of his terms and conditions - sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

This happened years ago, so I really have no idea what the situation is now, but was giving an example. My oldest daughter lived with a sex offender for about a year. She was not in her right mind at the time. He was on the list because of sex with a minor...it didn't give an age. Thankfully she got her life together and is now married to a wonderful man.
