Deep Background for October 18-24, 2009
I’m dedicating this weeks open comment forum to The Balloon Boy, who while hanging out in a corrugated cardboard box in the garage attic of his suburban Denver home, sent the entire domestic news media complex into total hysteria.
Of course, even as we can ridicule the 24-hour cable channels for their lack of skepticism and journalistic depth during the developing story, they were in a no-win situation, as they couldn’t afford to not cover it.
We look under rocks here on Deep Background as a place to sound off or share the latest scoop in our media surroundings here in Erie. If you wish to private message me, send an e-mail to joel@nataliemedia.com or tweet @pressandtower.
Embrace the chaos!
