EDITOR'S
CORNER
hut
—By J. F. T-*
We don’t know about you,1 hut we
are getting real fed up inn’the type
of news that is being printed, heard
on radio and TV. In our opinion,
most of it either appears to be a
re-run or re-heated canned matter.
It would not be cricket if we
would come right out and say that
our news media are being fed con-
trolled propaganda from central
headquarters in Washington, but it
appears that the men of the press
are being hoodwinked into believ-
ing that the same old freedom of
the press that once eniatod is still
the factual printed word.
It doesn’t necessarily work that
way these days, since only the part-
truths or half-truths as some would
say, hits the pages of our nrtrifr*
In fact, the American public Je
‘ ‘ with so much Irtelavent
, which is labeled news, that
it is extremely difficult te sift the
meat from the important happenings
of today.
In this respect, we can certainly
provide good example in the man
ner which the press (and TV and
radio) has handled the civil rights
issue. We do not approve of this
type of publicity for a extremest
minority, which is playing right into
the hands of the racists, regardless
of which aide of the fence your feel-
ings may lie. We believe that the
civil rights issue has been drastical-
ly overplayed and consequently the
news media (which have mishandled
same) have become the scapegoat of
public opinion. In this editor's opin-
ion. this misdirected news coverage
has resulted most pointedly is some
of the problems, the dashes, and
the killings (if you would be Brutal)
that have been the end product of
publicity Agitation has been the
key weapon The cauldron has been
kept bubbling by the press, which
has played up the whole problem to
key i«Kh
We aay again that the press has
been used bjphls minority of trou-
ble-makers to gain a situation which
has been rather unpleasant for all
and a black eye for our nation
abroad. These problems have exist
ed from the beginning of time, but
their real significance has been side-
tracked to appease the bigoted de
sires of a few twisted Americans
who feed on the sensational.
We have always believed in the
dignity and sincerity of our news
media, and we do not relish the fact
that we have been miserably mis-
used by a segment of our society.
