Norm Feedback

Norm calls in to say that the airplane crash in San Francisco had better coverage from Twitter than CNN. Margaret talks about an example of people using Youtube instead of speaking to the media in big stories. The media will edit your statements and slant them towards their bias.

Ken said that the media always has a bias. They are biased based on who is paying the bills this month. The content is supported by advertising and they won’t bite the hand that feeds them.

We talk about how the media sensationalizes the news.

Andrew brings up Big Pharma being a big time advertiser and that is the reason why the mainstream media portrays natural medicine as a bunch of wacko quacks.

Margaret brings up Traditional Chinese Medicine and how they are being treated in North America. Chrystal said in China there is a system of certifying TCM professionals which don't exist here.

Chrystal said some of the points are death points. Andrew said that the 5 touch, 5 step, exploding heart technique from Kill Bill 2 is awesome.

Marcel arrives to much fan fair…

What is the deal with all these micro video services like Vine and Instagram Video?

Margaret wants to know what that has to do with her? Bob talks about all the Vine videos Margaret has been doing.
