I like your writing Jeremy and I’ve linked you from my site (if that is okay). I’m learning by making public mistakes.

What has happened to the media of today is they have allowed their personal views to infect their writings. A journalist is supposed to report the basic’s on a story–Who, What, Where, When and sometime Why. That is all, it is for the reader to from their own opinion not absorb or be told by the reporter.
When a journalist begins to inflict his/her own feelings into their reporting then they are now a columnist and no-longer a reporter.

A blogger on the other-hand has no restrictions, it is his or her opinion and it is why people choose to read the blog.

No matter the media used to convey a message or report on facts the distinction used to be clear but within today’s media this is no-longer the case and it is sad.

Since when are Journalists ethical, or more importatnly, without agenda? Everyone knows the news is slanted left or right, depending on which publication you read. Sure, maybe the editororial staff decides the direction and not the journalist, but that still means they have no integrity because they are being told what to write and what angle to write it fromm. There are many newspapers who only write about the U.S. President in a negative light (mostly) while others only praise him (mostly).

Reporters have lost any ounce of credibility they may have once had. They do sloppy research and tow the company line. A reporter goes out to do his story and decides which way its going to lean. They don’t just report the facts – no one would watch.

I’m sure some of them have that elusive “integrity” thing, but I don’t trust the news from TV or Newspapers anymore than I trust it coming from a blogger. Not these days. Just because they are printed doesn’t mean they are right.

Almost as many reporters have lost their jobs because of bloggers as bloggers have lost their jobs for blogging!

I’m not saying bloggers are better than journalists, just that journalists are no better than bloggers.
