Take WND with a grain of salt. My advice as a schooled journalist. Although it doesn’t lean to the left, it DOES lack credibility for good reason: many of its “reporters” are people with agendas who pretend they don’t have one. The only journalism worthwhile is from reporters who may or may not have agendas, but who at least sincerely recognize their own biases and attempt to compensate for them in their reporting by seeking out info they may not want to hear and if it’s true, publishing it in spite of their agendas. WND is ... a bad choice for news, IMO.
Fascinating.
“... as a schooled journalist” you say.
This from Bob Schieffer’s recent lamentations: ‘We Now Don’t Know Where People Get Their News’... “ Most of the information is wrong and some of it is wrong on purpose,” Schieffer said. “It is our job, I think, in mainstream journalism to try to cut through this mall of information and tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know.”

You see, Finny, the irony of your post and Schieffer’s unintended admission is, and there is irony aplenty, you believe other news sources have a bias, an agenda, when the entirety of mainstream media leans left, as does the majority (if not the entirety) of journalism schools and their curricula.
Furthermore, evidence abounds that this has been by design, plan, slow, “progressive” (you DO know who the “progressives” are, don’t you?), incremental change and ultimately the end game in controlling the information available to Americans (indeed, the world) and the outcomes of elections and, ultimately, the support of a one-world government.
Schieffer’s admission lets the proverbial cat out of the bag. Journalists believe, as fervently as do fundamentalist baptists, communists or members of the tyrannical political system known as islam, that only THEY know “the truth” and only THEY should be the purveyors of said truth, with varying belief regarding the disposition of unbelievers, apostates and refuseniks: shaming, gulags, or decapitation.
I wonder how Schieffer would like to see those of us who no longer follow the dictates of the MSM “disposed of”?
So your “advice” although, perhaps, heartfelt, is ludicrous on its face, devious and left-handed at best, whether intentionally or not.
Being a “schooled journalist” I seriously doubt you would be able to tell the difference between biased and agenda-driven reporting anyway.
It’s like the story of the reporter at the New York Times when told Ronald Reagan was elected president. “How can that be, I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”
Journalists are on the whole, blind to their own bias, if not in on the globalist agenda and simply lying about it.
I shared your comments with several friends.
Thanks for the laughs.
BTW, regarding WND. I know Joe Farah and Jerome Corsi personally. I’ll let Joe’s statement “About WND” speak for itself for you and anyone who cares to read it.
