Newpapers Aren't Newspapers Anymore

2 Comments

Journalism is Dead.

Flicker:
The sooner you realize that journalism is dead in America, the better of you'll be and certainly less likely to be duped. You cannot rely on any print media to give you the unvarnished, unglazed, unbiased truth. There is no such thing in journalism anymore. Everyone has an agenda and everyone is pushing his/her own ideology.
Consider this: When a candidate running in the primaries, for the office of President of the United States, can have an affair, father a baby and keep all this secret, with the collusion of his wife, all through the primary season, and no one in the print media, except the National Enquirer (God Preserve us all), will say anything about it, then the forth estate is truly on the wrong path.
What if John Edwards had won all the primaries. What if he had got the nomination and the Enquirer had broken the story this week? What would have happened to the Democrat party? How could any party recover from something like this?
You are absolutely right. Newspapers are not Newspapers any more. They are all opinionated Rags, only worth of lining a bird cage.

Journalism: Old-style!

Reaganite,

I agree with you, too. But is there no value or upside to paper newspaper organizations?
