It’s not the stories they tell that’s the problem. It’s the stories they don’t tell.
Obama had more “journalists” arrested than all previous Presidents combined.
Trump has arrested zero “journalists.”
The Berlin Wall display had no reference to Ronald Reagan when I saw it. Just a chunk of concrete wall with grafitti on it. Zero context about communism. The Katrina display was described as a racist event that only affected blacks.
Were proud of how we did our storytelling
I bet you are.

LOL!
By going out of business?!
And a $25 admission fee? C'mon.
Thank you.
I’ll say this much for my journalism career: Even working for the Podunk Gazette, you got to see things and talk to people you never would have had access to in any other line of work.
I don’t know how you put a dollar value on that kind of experience — and it’s the experience that hooks people into the business, because those Podunk Gazette pay checks are pretty lean, as a rule.
Same experience.They did have some
things like a re creation of Tim
Russert’s office and photos taken by a photog who died shortly thereafter at the Twin Towers...and near a top floor individual newspapers were honored each day for their headlines.
The center-right Boston Herald used to celebrate being honored by the Newseum.Big deal! Papers all over in many cities got chosen, once a day.
Lying sacks of shit “museum” closes because people are coming to understand it is was and always will be a put on. There is no truth in the place.
"The culture" encourages and urges people to go to art museums and science museums.
There isn't any such pressure on tourists to go to newspaper museums.
It's like the museum of old medical instruments or musical instruments or torture implements: you might go if it's free, but not if it takes 50 bucks out of your wallet.
Best museum I’ve ever been to was the Imperial War Museum in London, and admission is Free.
Anybody been to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History lately? What a bunch of evolutionary BS that place is. They are totally in your face with it everywhere you turn.
Its hard to say which is better at self-congratulation: the press, or Hollywood. Isnt it about time for another movie about the suffering of Hollywood commies during the blacklist period? We need one of those every 5-7 years so we can admire their courage.
Few wanted to blow $25 to see and hear the media do what they do best: lie. I laugh at their obvious failure .
When I visit the Smithsonian, I have already prepaid my admission fee. I have paid more than 7 figures in taxes, so please stop with the 'free museums'.
When an illegal that has never paid taxes goes to a museum, then it is free.
