The sensationalism of English newspapers. I wouldn't say it offends me exactly, but the people making the newspapers seem well aware that they are peddling a dying medium...so they have to defy all logic and good taste just to get people interested.
I live in England so my experience of fox news is limited to what I have seen on youtube and clips that are shown on tv whenever a show opts for an easy laugh...although the reality of it is more cringeworthy.

I voted 'sex' in the poll, but that's not totally accurate. It's not the sex itself that bugs me, it's how it's portrayed. In movies, TV, and other media, sex is often trivialized and shown as something for cheap thrills and instant gratification. I don't want to preach, but I think sex should be so much more than that. IDK, I just think the act that could potentially create life should mean a hell of a lot more then a cheap thrill, instant gratification, shock value, or ratings grab. That's just me though, I sure as hell don't know everything.
This a million times, I'm looking at you the Daily mail.Herb sewell said:
If we believed them (for the UK) all out jobs would have gone to the polish, houses would cost less then a packer of jaffa cakes, both swine flu and bird flu would combine to form a super disease that transfers to humans instantly and at the same time increases global warming. Oh and all this could've been stopped it Diana was still alive (I have nothing against Princess Diana just he Mail brings her up at least once a week)
The fact that everything is exaggerated.
The fact that they fabricate things to increase the value of their stories.
The fact that they take a scapegoat at random and blame it for the evils in the world, see: Video Games.
The fact that people believe this shit
The fact that the reporters always act holier-than-thou even if they don't know shit about what they're reporting on. I live and work on a farm, and have done all my life. I got corrected by a reporter who said that you can have male cows and female bulls. Since the local newspaper isn't allowed to print me as having said "Gender isn't the same as species you dumb fuck" I just glared.
That should do for now.

That's why you have to watch the depressing stuff. That way at least they usually get it right.MaxTheReaper said:
Nothing really, only when a total idiot tries to tell the news and gets it all wrong or sounds stupid.
I stopped watching TV/News a long time ago. Well, except for Stephen Colbert.
Too much ignorance and political bashing going on.

Ugh, getting offended over stuff in the media is for extremist religious groups and overprotective parent groups,
For me it's stereotypes, and sometimes ignorance. But I usually find the ignorance I hate goes into stereotypes.
I'm usually not offended by very much, but most people should put on here should put "violence toward cats" cause I got quote the most on my entire time on this stite for merely saying I hate cats. Well, I did imply that I didn't mind if they died, but hell if you hate em, it comes with it.
