Everything you say and cite, I cannot dispute. Based on my 60+ years here on this earth, I’d instinctively say it is all sadly true.
I actually have more respect for a lying, low down snake of a politician than I do have for today’s journalist.
there’s a reason they rate where they do in approval polls. They earned it.
I don’t miss it. There were literally two reporters I worked with in over a decade in media that were actually good people. Good as human beings and good reporters. Thats out of probably over 100.
And FWIW, 1 editor close to worth anything. The rest were as bad as the two reporters mentioned earlier.
Funny, under the Bush Presidency there were no WMD.
It appears that the Obama Presidency created an environment where they could be built.
Obama’s fault.
It is not for nothing that we seem to get all our news from overseas.... and within 2-5 years, the powers will prevent that too.
This is the only good outcome from the rise of ISIS.
I applaud their efforts.
Nossir. The Propaganda Ministry lied then; they are probably lying now too.
Also under the Clinton presidency there were thousands of WMDs. That’s one huge reason why Slick Willy and his minions passed the Saddam Hussein removal act in 1998. Then of course, under Bush, there were no WMDs. Now with King Barack Obola, we’ve got those elusive WMDs again. Funny how that works.
I know what you mean. I’ve spent many years in Canadian journalism and it’s the same. Getting worse, too, as more come out of the school system.
I taught Journalism for a couple of years and would start by playing Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” as an introduction. They no longer ask me back.
Cheers,
Jim
