As if there was any reputation left, for anyone paying attention. Rathergate, the Journolistas shilling for Obama, 60 Minutes on Audi in the 80s, NBC on GM fuel tanks in the 90s, the list goes on and on, and not just regarding politics. The "profession" is full of whores who will say and do anything to make a buck and/or push their agenda, Truth be damned.
"I was taught when I was a young reporter that it's news when we say it is. I think that's still true -- it's news when 'we' say it is. It's just who 'we' is has changed"
David Carr (b. 1956). US Journalist, NY Times Reporter. CNN "Reliable Sources", Sunday, August 10, 2008.
