“Modern journalists have completely done away with the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a report.”
It’s all about writing “narrtives”, i.e. propaganda.
True. Today's journalist decides---- Write The Ending: Trump is to blame directly or indirectly but to blame. Then: find some filler to add to the top of the story.Add "someone with knowledge of the incident thinks...." Reword a press release. Reword an old article. Not too much work, hopefully. Starbucks pals are waiting. All done.
I wrote freelance newspaper and magazine articles for years and always worked to give the honest, full story without personal bias. What a waste of my time back then. So old-fashioned. .
Bingo. There is very actual news reporting today. Very little. The factual “who, what, when, and where” news reporting I grew up with decades ago just does not exist in this modern PC climate where 97% of journalists are Democrats.
