"If Your MOTHER Tells You She Loves You, Check It Out"


We all now know that Shirley Sherrod, the government agency official who was vilified and forced to resign by her boss just a day or so ago, has now been offered a promotion—and a White House apology. The firestorm erupted over a piece—underline the word “piece”—of video of her giving a speech that went viral, immediately after which came her harsh discipline. When it was later learned that the small piece of video gave a false impression of what she actually was saying, the White House did a u-bie—and embarrassed itself.

Much the same thing happened when the Prez, at a press conference, castigated a New Haven cop for arresting Harvard professor Henry Gates—before knowing all the facts. He later apologized for his quick trigger on that one, as well.

But there’s a larger lesson here, and it’s not limited to Obama; it’s about us. And our culture.
News now travels, literally, at the speed of light. I can send a picture or a video or a letter around the world in an instant—just by pressing “send” on my keyboard. This carries enormous power—and great responsibility. But this technological achievement—which allows a doctor in Mumbai to read an x-ray within moments after being taken at a Manhattan hospital—is made problematic by the fact that we have become a nation of gossip mongers.

Somebody edits a video with the intention of making a person look evil or stupid. And we immediately—and foolishly—react without knowing all the facts. Someone sends a photo that’s been doctored to misrepresent a scene or image. And we immediately—and foolishly—react without knowing all the facts. Someone spreads around a quote, taken out of context to misrepresent the words of the speaker. And we immediately—and foolishly—react without knowing all the facts.

I think it was a smart, crusty, veteran of the Associated Press who used to counsel young reporters: If your mother tells you she loves you, check it out.

In an age when “news” travels in nanoseconds, the White House—and the rest of us—would be wise to follow this advice. On the superhighways of our land and the superhighways of the Internet, remember the old adage: Speed Kills.

Kaity,


Really can't add anything else to all the great points you've made,... except to say we all really need to remember these examples permanently, & really question everything much more thoroughly as a regular practice.

Posted by Alexa at July 26, 2010 6:46 PM

Kaity, I agree with Chuck, there's not much to add
to the points you made. These days, not only would one have to check out whether Mom said it but whether that really is your Mom.

Agreed, however "News" SELLS! Truth or not.

It's all up to you guys in the news to keep it right. Forgive me if I don't always believe everything I hear.

You're one reporter I've always loked for the truth, Kaity.

Last night I was watching CNN and I saw a blerb on the scroll on the bottom of the screen. Obama is going to be on the View, but he's not going to Chelsea's wedding. Now who cares? Is this really newsworthy?

Leeanne will someone please tell me why "The View" is important? Other shows come and go but everyone acts like this one show is basic to the survival of the Republic kind of like an AM version of "Nightline". Having said that from the snippets I've picked up Whoopi kind of makes the most sense and Joy Behar is the most stupid.

Kaity we have a gossip problem at work and I've even been gossiped about by my boss herself. The thing with our gossip is it's so contradictory at times and one version will often go up against another version. I think besides people not really working (God forbid should you go to work with the sole aim of pumping it out) it arises out of boredom and a sense of being sociable. This one guy in particular, he'll take a half-truth or something that really happened, a half-fact and embellish, add his own spin to make it sound like somebody is having an affair let's say. Gossip, as old as the hills. It ain't going away.

Posted by Leeanne at July 27, 2010 6:44 PM

Z-man,

The only reason I can think of THE VIEW, as being "important", is because, Barbara Walters started the show.

I think the ratings went down, and it's no big deal anymore. Everytime a topic becomes interesting, Whoppi goes to commercial.

I can't believe that the president would be on that show. I guess he likes to be on TV. Personally, I don't think it is a good idea.

As for gossip at work, that will never end. I think you have to factor in jealousy of a co-worker to some degree. Some people have nothing else to do but make up stories.

When I was working this happened on a regular basis, and some people are not afraid to talk about others, some do not. It just depends on the person. I remember 2 women where I worked who couldn't stand each other, and it was well known. They would both run to the boss, every chance they got.

Let me tell you this. It is usually the squeaky wheel who gets his or her way. Unfortunately, that is not always a good thing.

Good Luck,

Leeanne

Joy Behar on The View is such an idiot,
She is a prime example of someone who
knows very little and then spews
nonsense. Scary that the audience applauds
after she speaks. I watched the show a
couple of times, riveted and fascinated by the idiocy. I could actually feel my brain cells
commit suicide.

Posted by Ari Minkov at July 27, 2010 8:17 PM

Hi Kaity,

I do agree with the message of your blog. I would like to add that the responsibilities that result from the information technology revolution apply not just to the Shirley Sherrod story, but also to the story about how all those classified documents became public due to the website Wikilinks. The former president Woodrow Wilson once asked the brilliant question “what is progress?” I think that, whether we are talking about technological innovations such as the internet or nuclear power (with its wide range of applicability, including military, medical, and energy ones), or to new approaches in public policy making (i.e. a taxpayer's bill of rights, Obama’s healthcare plan, the recently passed financial regulations) it is always smart to ask the question “is this progress?”

Alexa,

You're comments about Joy Behar are too funny... but alarmingly true!

Awesome coverage! Thanks!

In my prior comment to this blog I mistakenly called that website Wikilinks. What I meant to say was the Wikileaks website. Sorry about that.

Regarding the VIEW:

Joy is the resident comedian on the View, but I don't think she is funny. She also has a talk show at night. I ask myself WHY? The women on the show all talk at the same time, and they never shut up. I use to like the View years ago, but now, I think it has gone down the tubes.
I don't think Elisabeth is too bright either. And Sherry, she is annoying and not a brain either. Where do they get these people? I cannot believe Obama wants to be on that show. If he wants his popularity to go down even more, then so be it.

Regards,

Giada

Very nice site!

Posted by Alexa at July 28, 2010 11:12 PM

kman, thanks!

I see that the president will be on The View
on Thursday.

Mystery Solved: Except for Elizabeth, he's
getting his economic, fiscal, and foreign policy advice from The View panel.

Beam me up, Scotty, there is no intelligent
life here (The View).

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in its current form. Perhaps you could write about why you like Michael so much?

I was just thinking that you must be off to Japan. I hope you can let us know about your trip. Have a great one!

Kaity,
Your blog's a mess IMO.
You're recent post was pulled and you have too much spam. ( just look at your past blog articles)
I think its high time WPIX puts some effort into improving their blog formats. It's getting less enjoyable to want to participate in the PIX blogs.
Hope someone improves this mess.

Posted by Leeanne at August 6, 2010 12:36 AM

I enjoy Kaity's blog, however, someone is making a mess of it, and the garbage should be deleted.

I hope Kaity writes another blog before she goes to Japan.

Nice to hear from you.

I am not going away this summer either but
I don't enjoy traveling as much as I used
to, and there is too much work to do.
We are fellow cyber travelers!

Posted by Leeanne at August 13, 2010 8:21 PM

Hi Alexa,

Yes, we are cyber travelers in outer space I guess. I have been a bit under the weather so I don't think I'm going away anytime soon. I like to travel when I am in the mood. I did some traveling at the beginning of the summer. It was fun and very much needed.

There is not much going on, so I will say goodby for now.

Happy Summer!

I just read what you wrote about the VIEW, and I couldn't agree more. Those women are a bunch of idiots. I cannot believe they are on TV. They are not informative or even funny. I have a feeling that the ratings went way down. And where are the "hot" topics they are always talking about. I don't watch it anymore.

With Regards,

Leeanne

Posted by Alexa to Leanne at August 13, 2010 8:49 PM

As a woman, I find The View embarrassing--
it should be renamed The Spew.
It's a 101 course on how to send
the ratings down to the same
digit as their collective IQs.
And I mean a negative digit.
