    Our media is like all things capitalist; supply and demand. Demand better. Don't watch the bad.

    CLEVELAND —
    A convicted rapist who was caught, in part, as a result of a cell phone sting involving his victim was sentenced Tuesday to a decade behind bars, Fox 8's Stacey Frey reports.

    The 10-year sentence for Dwight Gales, 43, was the maximum he could get under his plea deal.

    In April, Gales grabbed a woman walking near West 25th Street and Scranton Road. He knocked her in the head with a gun, dragged her into an abandoned Tremont house and raped her repeatedly for three hours.

    Dont worry media, he will be out in 10 yrs to do it again and you can make more money telling us about it.. If they put him to death now end of story,,, See how this works?

    I demand quality go up, not down. (Which is why I watch less and less TV every year, but AMC has been really helping out =D)

    I demand that the news portrays life fairly (and therefore don't watch TV news anymore)

    I agree 100000%. The reason all this shit is on tv is because people actually watch the shit. Like this girl I know who watches Jersey Shore, I was asking her why in the world she would waste her time on it, and she always says something like "I know it's bad, but that's why I watch it!"

    People aren't stopping to think. It's disgusting.

    You're absolutely right. I don't watch any major news networks anymore, and I gave up on local news years ago. Local news is purely voyeuristic...there is no real reason to know that a woman was raped, a child was killed, an elderly woman's house burned down and she died inside......these things do not fall under the category of being well informed, in my opinion.

    However, how do you stay well-informed while ignoring biased media at the same time? Any suggestions for news sources that are unbiased and informative?

    Even if you were to find that, you still have your own bias', imho.
    But I tend to read a few sources and remember what is the same in all and ignore the rest.

    Oh my god. That was amazing. If you wrote that, you should be a professional songwriter. I would LOVE to be able to write as good as you. :O
