So the dowdie one says newspapers print gossip as news, but only if they have sources.
To: Roscoe Karns
Rush has been talking about the MSM attitude towards the "truth." They believe that it's not their job to be accurate. It is the job of the reader/listener to do the fact checking.
The trouble I find with that attitude is that they fail or are slow to widely disseminate the truth once is has been proved to them, and they are resentful and belligerent about it - ala Buckhead.

This is another variation on the double standard we see in the MSM.
It is because they are not driven by a search for truth, but by an agenda of forming the world that they want.
Thus, the standard becomes: How can we spin the information that we have to advance the Agenda?
When we look at MSM reporting with this in mind, much is explained.

The recent revelations by Mapes do indeed make a lot of things clearer about how they view their responsibilities. Thus we have the classic situations like this:
Democrat leader: "The Republicans want to foul the air, pollute the water, and starve the elderly."
MSM in unison to the President: "Why do you want to foul the air, pollute the water, and starve the elderly?"

The only source the dowdy one uses for her Hate GW opeds is her over drugged/whacked out brain.

JMO, but in light of these recent revelations, Congress should require newspapers and news shows to display the following advisory:
"Warning - it is not our practice to determine truth of our reporting. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to do the fact checking."
Failure to post that warning should make these people personally liable for libel suits.

Gee, sounds like both of these weirdos are parsing their words. Kinda goes back to the meaning of the word "is" is.
What crap they spew!

I mean you go to a presidential press conference and when the president says something you don't only put it on if you can prove it, you put it on because it's what's being said and because it's relevant. What an incredibly stupid thing to say. If the president says something at a press conference one can report on that because that is what he said...if you do an investigative report about a claim regarding the past you have an obligation to actually seek the truth and not just report what is said. These are two DIFFERENT types of reports and for someone who is supposed to be a reporter to fail to understand the difference...well, she needs to go back to school and take journalism 101 so she has a grasp of how reporting is actually done.

I only saw about 3 minutes of that interview (about all I can take of the toadying King), but in that 3 minutes Dowd stated that she's hunting for a husband and Larry King told her that he doesn't know that there is anyone, including those who do not agree with her views, that would not say that her writing is excellent. Blech.

I still love Matt Drudge's comment on journalism. It's a trade, not a profession. Talk about putting these arrogant asses in their place.
To: Zacs Mom
Joseph Pulizter was brilliantly insightful. Too bad the MSM isn't.

Well, there you have it... "News=Opinion". That explains it all, doesn't it?
