I Have Something to Say

An almost rogue government agency planting cyanide bombs throughout the country: This is what REAL journalism looks like, although the Guardian is too far left in general, but this story is how journalism used to be before “Orange Man Bad” syndrome tainted the profession. I wish we could get back to REAL solid journalism.

Trump is terrible. Its the job of the news to expose the corruption and they have.

You don’t get it. @MalcolmY
@Carissimi of course I do

@MalcolmY Yes it is--- They are the watchdog "We The People" depend on.. and they shouldn't have a political preference--- but they do--- and you know they do.
@GERRI what you are misconstruing as political preference is the reporting on a singularly amoral and incompetent president. There is nothing good to say.

You don’t. You have a one track mind, and this is what’s wrong with journalism today. They see nothing but orange man bad, and the public misses out on real news, like the one I linked to. You may think of Trump as you wish...I’m not fond of him myself...but the hysteria and propaganda has tainted journalism to the extent that it’s not journalism anymore, but pure hate. @MalcolmY
@Carissimi There is no hate. There is just nothing good to say about him.

@MalcolmY I'm not misconstruing anything-- The refusal to report is the same as false reporting and aiding in a cover-up---- and you know it is.

See what I mean! Only see the bad. The negative. Can’t even acknowledge his accomplishments before Corona struck. That’s hate whether you understand it, or not. @MalcolmY
Carissimi · F
@MalcolmY You are blinded by hate, and you don’t even know it.
@Carissimi you dont even know me. Ive got more reason to hate than most but i dont

@MalcolmY Why do you have "more reason" than most?😒
@MalcolmY It's the duty of the news to report Facts. Not blow things out of proportion by mixing facts with gossip, rumor and innuendo which only creates Fear for $ales, Ca$h and Click$. That's irresponsible, misdirecting and disingenuous and belongs in the Enquirer and The Star which are rags, not in the legitimate business world. Might as well cry Fire in a crowded theater where a stampede will almost certainly result.

I learned a lot in journalism classes. The first thing is to have Honesty because it reflects upon the Integrity of the newspaper that you represent. But I suppose that today's Corporate Presstitute does not have Noble Intent written into its Mission Statement.

1,000 pounds of gossip, rumor and innuendo do not = 1 ounce of Facts.
