You're right. It's the steady stream of non-news that culminates into an internally built social conscious, which they pretend is nation and world wide, that has most of us is having a problem with.
If you'd like a good example of how this actually works, one of the news-anchors have written a book about working in FOX during the Bush-administration. It's called "Great Presidents" or something like that.
Basically, they're doing two things - they're aiming for the "part of the American home" appeal. You know, like Star Wars. And then there's the politics. The problem is that they don't see the difference between the two. They make politics being about which figure can pretend to fulfill the mythical American image the best. About who has the best haircut. About the most tasteful tie, and ceremonious voice.
And that's just a different way of saying that 99% of the people working at FOX are not actually journalists at the present. Instead, they're in showbusiness. #modernwarfare2

Fox News gets a bad rap from dudes like O reilly and beck. The channel is not so bad really. #modernwarfare2

Really Fox News deserves all the bad publicity they get. First of all they're the only idiots dumb enough to provide a viable outlet for Limbaugh and his nonsensical rants. And secondly, the only real news they discuss spurs from views provied by Beck and Hannity and O'Reilley. Very rarely if ever do they provide a real unbiased viewpoint as the news should be reported. #modernwarfare2

MSNBC and CNN throw bitch fits over games too. It's all bad, because you are always dealing with rich people, and folks who still see games as Mario bros stuff.
"Where do I put my Quarter?"
"It's a console, here, watch."
"... Did you just shoot that man?"
"Yes."
"In the face?"
"It would appear so?"
"WHAT IS ALL THIS NONSENSE!" #modernwarfare2

Also your comment reminds me of all the politicians who said things like. "I know what being a gamer is like I played Donkey Kong!" #modernwarfare2

I second that! Very well done. You stayed calm and objective. You didn't defend the scene, but discussed how games are evolving, and even how the fact that this is not the norm in videogames. Well said.
I hope you get to do more interviews on controversial games in the future. You do a good job representing them in a more intellectual way, breaking the poor stereotype of aggressive, unlearned gamer. Kudos. :) #modernwarfare2

*** Spoiler Alert ***
you're playing undercover as the terrorist in the airport was kind of fucked up. I didn't shoot any civilians, and only shot at the cops once I had to. I don't know, I think there's better ways to accomplish the same sort of thing without putting you behind the muzzle during a massacre.
*** End Spoiler ***
But I would never say they shouldn't or couldn't make whatever level they want. I just didn't really care for it. Yeah, I know it was optional, but there's no way I'm skipping levels in any game.
But then again, I downloaded Battlestations Pacific because it was the mid-week Steam deal, and in the very first level you're the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. I'd love to see some media indignation about B:P. I guess it's not a popular enough game to warrant the outrage (because, after all, it's about sensationalism and ratings, not objective investigation). #modernwarfare2

Okay, but really though, I just realized that through Grand Theft Auto, we've been mowing down civilians for years.
Well, not as terrorists. But as gangsters. #modernwarfare2

In real life, you may have blown it and, thus, would not receive a tip on where and when this or that nuclear catastrophe would happen.
Just saying. #modernwarfare2

I'm not naive. I know that horrible shit is done and the ends justify the means. But if you're suggesting a 9/11 hijacker, a madrid/india/bali bomber or any other incident of mass murder had active undercover participants, you're wrong. The level in MW2 is taken to a (il)logical extreme, just like Jack Bauer on 24. #modernwarfare2
