[Psalm 73]

Lots of folk got their panties in a bunch over this. He's a journalist for crying out loud - that's what they do (or should be doing).

You go where the story is.

“Lots of folk got their panties in a bunch over this. He’s a journalist for crying out loud - that’s what they do (or should be doing). You go where the story is.”

That’s true. The problem arises when the journalist becomes the story.

Moreover, there’s a difference between an objective reporter and a journalist. The former is supposed to be objective and dispassionate and non-judgmental, and seek only the facts; the latter is more of a storyteller, biases and all.

Both have their place; and both should be heard. But the journalist’s product especially should be taken with skepticism. Where journalism bests objective reporting is that journalism can be very entertaining (think: H.L. Mencken; Art Buchwald; Mike Royko, et als).

Let’s see what Carlson says.
