    Fucking ridiculous. We need to start teaching media literacy in schools.

    Rule number one is: Journalists should not be influencing your opinion. A statement like that from someone claiming to be a journalist should wipe everything they just said from serious consideration.

      They get around it by not classifying their talking heads as journalist when they get heat on them.

        Yeah. We need better rules about identifying news vs opinions and entertainment.

        Sure they can say that in court, but their audiences don’t hear that.

            Along with rules that required fair coverage of both sides of an issue.
