I have listened to Glenn Beck on the radio for years before he was on CNN. He says he isn’t a journalist but nowhere do I get breaking stories that are sourced as carefully as his.
The “Freedom of the Press” was put there to out corruption in the government. There are very few doing that now.
I continue to listen to Beck AND watch his shows. FOR THE NEWS I GET ........and entertainment too.
You don't have to attend journalism school to understand the concept of citing multiple sources to confirm the accuracy of a story.
You only need journalism school if you want to learn how to rationalize your use of opinion and personal political agenda as "objective journalism."
