At one time reporters were told to ask: who, what, when, where, and why? The news pages had the facts, no matter who the facts made look bad, and the editorial pages had the opinions. Objectivity in journalism, as well as long hours of investigative work to validate the facts, went away when the Marxists took over the journalism schools. Today, the White House sends out a spin story via email or fax and the media in unison spout the talking points within minutes. News today is emotion based propaganda with zero effort to seek the truth, much less back the story up with hard cold facts.
The only way to change the media is for a conservative billionaire to purchase a major network, or a chain of newspapers, and to force the reporters to report news objectively as well as shift the balance of opinions on the editorial pages. Reform will not occur in the leftist journalism schools and the leftist editors and reporters will certainly not reform themselves.
