I worked in the newspaper business for 46 years, serving as a beat reporter, court and police reporter, investigative reporter, editor and columnist. The first day I went to work an old editor told me there were two rules in the business: (1) you never make up your own facts and (2) prima donnas should seek other lines of work. We are seeing too much of creative writing and reporting these days, and the MSM is overflowing with partisan prima donnas. Journalism is in a sad state in this country. There are too many people with personal agendas working in the big city papers, the major networks and news magazines, and in their warped worlds the facts be damned.
Well-put!
