Our so-called journalists are inept. What else is new?
“Our so-called journalists are inept. What else is new?”
A professional journalist must perform according to the requirements of management to keep his position. Management decides whether to publish or reject a story and whether give the story prominent display or bury it to the “back pages.” Management may encourage the public to believe that journalists expressed their own opinion but only the management decides which reportage receives prominent display.
Don’t be fooled. Any bias or “ineptness” in the media is the result of management policy. Journalists are only employees.
