Like when Anthony Watts from Watts Up With That wanted to do a site survey of every climate reporting station in the country and soon after he announced his plan the list of locations disappeared from the NOAA website? Oh, wait, that was under Obama.

I actually got a Journalism degree (way back in the mid-70s), when everyone wanted to find the truth. We were generally taught to find the facts and present them in a logical, dispassionate manner - but not always. Two stories best illustrate this:

1) We have all heard the recording of the guy who broadcast the Hindenberg explosion and fire. We were told the man was later fired for that reporting, because he got emotionally involved in the story. Lesson: report the facts as an impartial observer.

2) In another class, a professor told us about a time he was on the staff of the Washington Post. He and another reporter got a very hot tip from a source, but they were unable to get a second source to confirm. The editor said absolutely we won't print the story without a second, independent source. Lesson: make sure you are right before publishing even a major story. (on the other hand, the professor said they got around the editor: one of the reporters interviewed the other about what he had been told. They then quoted him as a "source close to the white house", since they were only a few blocks from the white house, they were close to the white house. Unofficial lesson: print what you want by lying to your editor).

The Columbia University School of Journalism is now teaching it is OK to not even bother to fool your editor. Just print what you think needs to be printed to support your liberal bias.

The Columbia School of Journalism attacked me about 15 years ago. I wear it as a badge of courage!
