Baloney! Media should check the veracity of their stories or
what is put out by their employees.
Sorry, it's not baloney. Like it or not Rosie is offerring an opinion. She is free to do this. And who says "media should" do as you say--who's going to regulate opinion-mkaers?
And have you seen what else ABC broadcasts? Do you actually believe that if they "check the veracity of their stories" they will start supporting the war, for example, or change their coverage one bit?
She's offering an opinion. That's free expression, and free expression isn't about saying just what you or I believe is true.
If we start with tv, where does it end? Should we check all guests on radio shows (Coast to Coast is almost entirely bullbleep) and internet forums? We'd don't need a Truth Minister as Darkwolf puts it. We need people to develop their own bull---- detectors or know where to find the truth.
