All rorters today are. Their job is not to report but to ‘make a difference’ , and in their mind this means going after anyone who isn’t a libtard and smearing them and trying to take them down.
Imw worked in press rooms. I was in editor positions, Luckily I was taught by an excellent teacher who made me a News Editor and forced me to write “hard news” stories, the way they are supposed to be.
Thanks, Secret Agent, for telling us the way reporting USED to be.
Personally, I think the greatest hope is to push the business press as the path of journalists. I am combining journalism and industry analyst reports in a niche of the high tech industry and it’s a lot of fun actually.
