The rush to be first is more important than the rush to be accurate.

Journalism Reporting: Who, What, When, Where, Why, And How

There, fixed it. Journalism is what got us in this situation.

Just another reason not to have a MySpace page.

I’d be ticked if they put my picture on the news and it was someone else that was the suspect. Though, with my name, I honestly doubt there is another person out there with my first and last name.

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

Nevermind, just looked myself up, there are more of me out there. Had to verify, oh well.

Someone’s going to pay for this.

My contention is it is lack of what used to be called Journalism that got the world into the mess it's in -- The fact base has been removed from the population. The world now runs on pseudo everything, where alleged facts, which are often wrong or just flat out lies, are passed on from one person to the next as truths. This is what now drives the public opinion, people believe they are informed, when in fact they have been wronged. And more likely than not, the terminus of that journey ends in a Statist ditch somewhere.

The "as seen on TV", so it must be true, syndrome drives the public discourse. What was once objective news reporting, has been turned on the people, by a bunch of propaganda monger Statists, who seem to think they know what is best.

It's also why "we have to move fast" is the way of Obammunsim and the Statist crisis mentality.

Would Americans knowingly vote for a Marxist, if they in fact understood what that meant? hmm, got to think about that one for a while.

How do you post pictures.

With how inept the MSM is in fact-checking I am surprised they didn't post this photo...

[Vaduz]

Your right a NEWS FLASH this just in takes about two weeks before they get the story right.

[Liberty Valance]

HA! That’s the pic that msm really wants for this story.

[river rat]

Why the surprise?
Facts, Truth and unbiased reporting is no longer the objective of what passes for “journalism” today...

If memory serves - the “School of Journalism” is the only department whose student’s average GPA is lower than that of students entering the “School of Education”.....
