They don't look too happy. I wouldn't be either. An invasion could even turn into a matter of life or death, and they made a joke about it. Not cool. If this is just inaccurate journalism, it serves as a wake up call. The media needs to be more responsible and less worried about breaking the news first. View
No matter what the case, the movie sure got what it wanted from the media...free buzz! I think I might see it just because everyone is talking about it. View

The Academy and the media are all missing the point...and it's pretty simple...Farrah IS a member of the Academy and Michael Jackson is NOT. Farrah IS listed on the Academy's memorial list on their web site...Michael Jackson is not. No one forgot...this is just the same old politics playing out...she wasn't respected for her work during her life, nor is she being respected for it in her death. SHAME ON THE ACADEMY! View
I suspect it's at least in part a viscous circle. One earthquake makes the news. Lots of people see it. Another one hits and the press says, "Ah, we got lots of hits (aka eyes for advertising) on that last story. Let's see how this next one on a similar issue does."
And lo and behold, the audience bites. Not as big as the first time, but still solid traffic. So why not keep reporting earthquakes? As long as they get eyes, the advertisers are happy, meaning the media is happy.
Are there really more earthquakes? I don't know. But this is certainly the year of hearing more about earthquakes. View
I really think the media is all wrong when covering the earthquakes. I don't understand why they don't pull up some historical stats and compare so people understand better why and if there are more earthquakes. But then again the media seems to be taking an even sharper turn for sensationalism. I like the sources that chastise the media; sometimes, it needs it. View
I think this was a savvy move for a man who doesn't have to worry about protecting his political capital. sadly, the media still just focused on the fact that he was ranting not what he was ranting about. View
It's not just prices that will stop people from buying these t.v.'s. Just look at that last clip with both guys wearing those goofy, cumbersome glasses. Can you imagine having to wear those every time you want to watch the t.v.? 3D has always seemed like a gimmick when used in movies and always seemed like a distraction, i.e. objects being thrown at the audience for no other reason than to have something appear 3D. James Cameron used it effectively to add a little dimension here and there to Avatar but I'm assuming most content that would be available would be of the gimmicky kind. But assuming more media uses it effectively like Cameron did is it really worth the huge price tag and wearing ridiculous looking glasses every time just so a few scenes here and there can appear to have more depth?

I consider myself a fan of Apple. I also recognize they have some serious shortcomings, though. I'm more interested in seeing a tablet that offers all the features an artist could want, though, ranging from accurate pen (and brush?!) tracking to gestures for audio manipulation. There's so much potential but it seems like Apple (the media producer's best friend?) hasn't even considered it. View
While the safety concerns are important for the media to relay to the public, it is not so important to continue to rehash the problems. Toyota clearly has problems it needs to address. View
