It has been said by some that this is the worst time to be a journalist.
Given the fact that so many newspapers are unable to pay good writers that write well and that so many newspapers are going bankrupt,perhaps this is so.<\/p>\n
However, from my perspective, this is probably the most important time
in America to be a journalist\/reporter. <\/p>\n
I for one, am not going to allow the Jason Blair’s, Steven Glass’s and Elizabeth Wurtzel’s to screw it up for all the journalists who do have integrity and have endured years of crappy hours, crappier pay and clueless editors.<\/p>\n
It is not enough to blame such writers as Jason Blair and Steven Glass for being such pathological liars or to pity them for their personal troubles and supposed addictions, it is also not enough to blame their editors and superiors even though they were responsible for checking up on their reporters. <\/p>\n
Ultimately it is the the public’s responsibility to demand truth telling when they read any publication, those who continue to read tabloids like the New York Post and think they are getting the story are simply unrealistic.<\/p>\n
Journalism is about TRUTH TELLING, exposing lies,fraud and corruption. We need journalists now more than ever. Corporate America and the politicians they continue to pay off so they can make sure you NEVER get health care, so you will eventually have to be stripped searched EVERYTIME you board a plane. Has taking off our shoes made air travel safer? No it hasn’t. Eventually we will have no rights and we will become virtual slaves to our ever increasing fascist government.<\/p>\n
Wake up my fellow American’s, TURN OFF your television so you are able to get away from the pharmaceutical companies manipulating you to become a medicated zombie so you no longer have the will to live or fight for your rights.<\/p>\n
Stop buying newspapers that are not worth the paper they are written on. Write or call the editors and publishers of newspapers that you feel are not credible and tell them why you will no longer buy the paper, tell them which reporters need to be given the boot as well as telling them which reporters are credible and are deserving of a promotion. <\/p>\n
