I agree with you that many journalists might simply be incompetent... and they try to cover over their incompetence or even laziness about getting a real story by offering up propaganda.<br /><br />It takes a lot of work to get all the relevant information. And some of it is almost certainly going to contradict whatever you thing. Much easier to do it halfway and lard it with your opinion.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-78163853874090010102012-08-10T05:33:48.790-07:002012-08-10T05:33:48.790-07:00Can anyone expect more out of people who think the...Can anyone expect more out of people who think their job is to save the world. Silly me! I always thought it was to report on the news. Then I/We would have the requisite information to save the world. But alas, journalists are not very good at their jobs and cannot even figure out what it is that they are supposed to do.<br />If a knowledgeable electorate is the underpinning of a free society then we are not well served by the "media."

They do Calender (sp) (see Thomas Jefferson) proud and have as much integrity and honesty as he demonstrated only we cannot throw them out of the country as the British did to our chagrin as a nation.<br />I have tried for years to understand why the NYTimes is supposed to be the newspaper of record. I have read a lot of American history and in a large majority of them the NYTimes was more representative of inaccuracy and political chicanery. Must be a New York thing?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-76527734406533926252012-08-09T16:05:26.067-07:002012-08-09T16:05:26.067-07:00Media sins of commission: Vast.
