So, Juskalherria, are you Myrdinn? And, no. I don't give out assignments. If you can do a broadcast then you can find the news on your own.
You see, if I am the one snooping around to find broadcasts I wouldn't get any sleep at all. It is for the reporters themselves to find and use their own wits for what they shall broadcast.
So, find something you think is interesting, send me a t-gram.

So, Juskalherria, are you Myrdinn? No. I see you have a bunch of contractors working for you rather than a regular editor and reporters set-up. OK. Will do. If I decide to interview opposing parties in your board's name and the parties come to you are you going to tell them I work for you or not?

If I decide to interview opposing parties in your board's name and the parties come to you are you going to tell them I work for you or not? Reasons to "contractors" is that they probably get more intersted in doing stuff if it is their own choice. Secondly, every nation knows "other" stuff than the rest. We all move in strange regions. And I know those parts I move frequently throught but I don't know were you go. So.. it is simple a matter of that. Besides, sometimes something happens and I would send to you "Interview Kandarin about him mayby loosing delegacy" and you sleep for another 25 hours and during that time kandarins opponent get DEAT for being a multi. Well, then I just lost a interview with Kandarin before the Multi died and then I have to go to Kandarin and ask him some questions about the multi. Just an example. And yes, I could tell them that. That you work for me.

Well, I thought this thread was a place to lodge complaints, at least that is how it is advertised on your main page. I don't understand why you made the remark as you have done above. I'm not sure how you are running your news organization, but most news organizations have an editor who sets the policies of how things will be reported. I assumed that that is what you are doing. Yet, I am complaining about the lack of control and objectivity in the reports in the Pacific. Why can't you address that instead of telling me to go do your job. I've got enough to do. I just see what you are allowing to be done by your reporters as being quite unfair and possibly dangerous. I see this all of the time in the media, and I lodge complaints here at home constantly. Never been offered a job, though. All I am saying is that you need to have a conference or something and explain to the reporters that they need to report the facts in an unbiased and factual way. It does the resistance to Francos no good if you are tooting our horn, especially when we are trying to recruit nations to assist us. You honestly look like a puppet of the resistance, and I don't see any good of that.
And yes, I could do a better job if I wasn't an RRA soldier and fighting on one side of the conflict. I would be biased if I reported, and you should know that.

Well, I did say that because it has been another such an topic called "Why did you hire Twinkles"
Now, first off, true this is what it is said to be. A place to voice complaints. Never been so used before.
Secondly, Twinkles did what she did. I suggested neutrality and we have spoken about it. You are rather late Myrdinn. Keep up on the action.
Thirdly, I agree on what you are saying on how such a place like this can be used. Well, I don't really care about that. You see, I do this as long as I think it is fun. When I don't deem it as fun anymore, I will pull the plug.
Fourth, This isn't a real newsroom and therefore it don't need an editor. If it needed an editior I wouldn't have let about 75 percent of the stuff that is in here get out. Why? Because I don't agree with them. Because I haven't written it.
Fifth, If you don't like it, then tell me that so I could pull the plug on this newsplace.

Jerome,
I'm not here to start a war with you. You report news, so I assume that you are doing so with the intent of doing so responsibly. If you are doing this for fun, then great, because that is why we are playing this game anyway. With that said, it would be responsible of your organization to provide a caveat that you may be reporting a biased viewed rather than an objective view.
You needn't get so defensive. I just voiced an opinion. If you do not wish for people to voice complaints or criticisms, remove this thread from your forum. Had this been a newspaper, you can certainly bet I would have written a formal letter to an editor explaining my opinion.
Not everyone will always agree with you. It's a fact of life. You don't need to throw in the towel just because of what I or someone else might say. If you enjoy what you are doing, go ahead.

You see, it will always be a biased view nomatter what people look at it. My standpoint was that you were late on this. The discussions had already been made. No, I went on the aggression. Read the category descreption again.

Regarding Francos' views on the unbiased news reporting, I have to say that I absolutely agree with him. It is rather irresponsible for journalists to take a side...objectivity should be ingrained in the morals of the journalist. Sure, many of us in the resistance have benefited from the biased newscasts, but what happens when a reporter decides he or she does not like you and refuses to report your voice? You become the same victim of bias that Francos has been. I'm sorry, I don't like Francos, but his point is definitely well-taken and I for one hope that NetWork Radio will ameliorate this egregious course of action in its reporting. In response to the above post... I would never do that. If Francos agreed to and interview, I would treat him the same as everybody else - I might not like it, but I'd do it, and stick to his original answers. I may take sides in reports occasionally, but I would not be biased towards someone I was interviewing - I'm junt not like that.

I think Fs took the angry way out here. Would have been better had he asked to begin reporting. If censored then could have claimed a bais against the site.

I find it hard to believe that Francos Spain even allowed the press anywhere near his region. As long as he is in control of The Pacific, there is no freedom there. No point in trying to give an objective arguement when it comes to The Pacific. Most that read your posts don't like Francos to begin with. Saying that he really is a nice guy would fill up your message boards with so much hate mail, it really is worth it to say he is Hitler incarnate. Trying to give both sides to this issue is not worth the effort.

Ahh, but to avoid honesty because it might not be popuar, that would be to suggest the site should turn tabloid rather then stay news.
This site is great because it allows variety of thought with it's reporters, as a news org should.

Most of the stuff you write about is full of lies. I believe the term "yellow journalism" is appropriate for the news that you report.
