What's Wrong with Journalists/Mass Media today?

The more we non-journalists see about how the cozy little game of flirtation that reporters play with their sources and vice-versa, each needing what the other has to offer--the more unseemly and untrustworthy the whole process becomes. This is so far from the old school image of the hard bitten reporter relentlessly wearing out shoe leather, and doggedly pursuing and harassing sources to get tidbits of information out of people that did not want to talk--that I am now realizing that everything I know is wrong--at least if I read it in a newspaper, magazine, or saw it on television. It is all a massively co-ordinated effort to define a reality that is, in fact, pure fiction, and conceals a ruthless political agenda. Feh to the whole business. I am disgusted. c4logic | 12.11.05 - 2:26 pm | #
