Who cares what I think about Richard Dreyfuss whining about shaped news? It's time for a new feature of TBIFOC called Ask The Cats!

Richard Dreyfuss has challenged the establishment for decades and now the maverick actor and activist is taking on the mainstream media.

The Oscar-winning star says an obsession with delivering instantaneous news and images provides too little context for audiences to reflect and understand what is happening in the world.

"There is no room to pause, no room to think," Dreyfuss, who starred in films ranging from "Jaws" to "Mr Holland's Opus" told Reuters in a recent telephone interview.

"We don't build into our system of thoughts the need to explain, the media doesn't build that into its transmission of knowledge and information."

That creates what Dreyfuss calls "shaped news" -- a version of events according to how the mainstream media want audiences to see what happened, and a violation of journalism's core value of objectivity.

What do you think about Richard Dreyfuss whining about shaped news?

Piper: Does Richard Dreyfuss realize that he's talking to the same manipulative profit-hungry propagandists rushing to chop his outburst into sound bites and broadcast them instantaneously without context to the celebrity-obsessed ignorant masses?	Nardo: He's in the remake of Poseidon Adventure. Here's my imitation of the Poseidon.
Frisky: Actors who say they're activists should be called "actorvists." Because it's a funny word. Can I have a hug?	Beezer: Like this Nardo??
