Each time the media gets a prominent story wrong right now, I wince. More than egg on a famous face, it risks a generation's trust in news.

If our most famous journalists are so proud they can't admit to what is now an obvious error, how can they hope to hold the public trust?

Most folks can't read three different papers every day. If we don't set the highest standard, many give up and say the truth is unknowable.

That is the twilight of an age.

Journalism needs to return to its roots and stop pandering to clicks and ad revenue. 1/2

Yes, bills need to be paid, but "celebrity" news personalities & infotainment shows are discrediting an entire industry. 2/2
