"These have been a bad few months DECADES for journalism," he added.
Wow! What a condemnation of America -- tying Her to MSM employees.
MSM employees are skid marks on Journalism's shorts.
We need to have the way it was before TV when cities had multiple newspapers.
We're getting there with talk radio, the alternate media and the Internet.. lets clear the air of the foul odor caused by MSM employees.
And you are still getting it wrong, try the last five years!
I find it telling that they don’t seem to be interested in why they’re getting it wrong (it’s obvious to us, probably to them too). It sounds like they’re whining about the fact that they’re required to get it wrong and are trying, in the process, to salvage a shred of self-respect.
& “wrong” isn’t the right word to use anyway - that implies an intent to get it “right.” The correct word is, “lie.”
And Pelley said the republic relies on the quality of the news business. “Democracies succeed or fail based on their journalism,” said Pelley. “America is strong because its journalism is strong. That’s how democracies work. They’re only as good as the quality of the information that the public possesses. And that is where we come in.”
Is that good or bad??? Are you patting yourself on the back or kicking yourself in the butt???
The bigger problem is, they don't look for the facts to begin with.
“We’re getting the big stories wrong, over and over again.”
(but who the heck cares as long as the public continues to believe then) is what he doesn’t say.
Those kinds of 'mistakes' happen in a breaking crisis. That's not why the press is losing credibility. If Lanza's shirt had been blue, if his mother was a waitress or a teacher or he played video games or was a democrat IS NOT of great national concern.
Pattern recognition matters.
Was Lanza - like all the other young mass murderers - on psychoactive drugs? Are antidepressants a factor?
And Benghazi - did our government choose to allow Americans to die? That issue matters to all Americans. It's not a crazy lone wolf when the whole Administration is in on it... Is our government been lying? And if this is a lie, what else?
Those are the types of issues that destroy credibility - not if some killer's mother worked at a school or not. Breaking stories have mistakes... happens. Bengahazi lies have been here for months...
Years ago newspapers were concerned they were losing trust because of simple spelling and punctuation errors. It was a totally self-serving and shallow excuse for the larger issue: that credibility was lost because of bias. CBS is doing the same. It's not small mistakes in breaking stories that's the problem. It's bias. It's getting stories that are fed to them by liberal sources. It's NOT having a diverse newsroom ( diversity of ideas not diversity of what people do in bed - or pigmentation.)

The term, in Ebonics, is: We be F@#%ed.
He got that wrong, too. Journalism is bad and is polluting America.
So resign you elitist, it's-all-about-me, treasonous, POS propagandist.
They are constantly wrong because their premise is wrong...
The fact he still has his job and was invited to speak tells the whole story.
When only a Presidential "Face Palm" will suffice.
Maybe they should try reporting facts instead of promoting propaganda.
Who cares? Their credibility is ZERO.
The MSM is about as relevant as spinning wheels.
(Although they spin very well.)
