The money in the business of journalism is in entertainment, not truth. It is that imperative to entertain which produces the perspective of journalism.And that journalism does indeed have a perspective is demonstrated every day in what it considers a good news story, and what is no news story at all. Part of that perspective is that news must be new--fresh today--as if the events of every new day were of equal importance with the events of all other days. So journalism is superficial. Journalism is negative as well, because the bad news is best suited to keep the audience from daring to ignore the news. Those two characteristics predominate in the perspective of journalism.
Why Broadcast Journalism isJournalism is far too busy arguing from authority - "authority" which is merely self-hype - to trouble itself with taking criticism seriously. Journalism claims to be objective, but that is the same as claiming to be wise. It is merely a declaration that it is foolish to argue with them because their mind (and indeed they only have one mind; to have individual minds would take courage) is made up.
Unnecessary and Illegitimate
