    In J-school, in a land long ago and far away, they taught us that corporate, govt., nonprofit press releases or punditry are PR, not "news." If the topic is interesting; it's starting point where you ask: "Who wants me to think this--and why?"pic.twitter.com/Hy5paZPwFR

        I liked how a character on the West Wing referred the WH Press Corps as "stenographers". Perfect.

        Oh, stop with that critical-thinking mumbo jumbo. There's no place for that in journalism today!

        You have integrity which is why I enjoy your show on Sunday, there are still some Reporters out there that want to report the truth . Just fewer of them than when i grew up. Reporters who question instead of accept!

        In my lifetime, Journalists were, until recently, just like detectives, like me, find the truth, write the truth, and bring the truth forward for the public to see

        Now they ask the PR pushers whom they agree with to review their articles prior to publishing. Bunch of lackeys.

        Yea but you’re limiting your thinking to a Jim Webb ,”just the facts” meme. That is SO not #fakenews 😏👍🏻

        Evidently it is only put in use depending on what party is issuing the press release or if the reporter agrees with the material being presented.

        Articles written today would have received "F" in J school. We were taught about Ethics which now seems to be ignored. What caused the Changes? Newspapers always competed but kept integrity. Now, most report/write "Tabloid Journalism".
