[QUOTE="Netsua 3:16, post: 4811466, member: 73764"] Dude, you literally can’t trust anything you read. There is no such thing as journalistic standards in 2021 USA. I went to school for journalism. Wrote at my college newspaper, interned at a local newspaper. This was in the mid 2000’s, right as the internet was taking over the industry. I learned all the important stuff. Journalistic integrity. Not using a source until you have confirmed it’s legitimacy. Not getting sued for libel. Not EVER, under any circumstances, asserting YOUR opinion in any way shape or form....unless the article is specifically marked as a column, or opinion piece. So there used to be this natural divide, between news articles, and opinion pieces. As FoxNews and CNN blew up TV ratings, there came a forceful shift in journalistic output. Opinion pieces SELL. Passion SELLS. Throw in some cultural turmoil; 9/11, Iraq 2, the recession, etc And all hell broke loose. We’ve lost complete control. Journalism is dying a slow, painful death, and there’s no reversing the disease. We are a sensationalist country in sensationalist times. [/QUOTE]
