Recovering from the journalism crisis: Reporters need to learn to apologize

Boy, THIS is spot-on.  The thing is, they apologize (sometimes) only when they're caught.

Recovering from the journalism crisis:  Reporters need to learn to apologize

Two weeks ago, Georgetown University held a symposium about the state of journalism.  When asked what the main problem facing the press is, Erik Wemple, a media critic at the Washington Post, came up with a surprisingly compelling and honest answer: Journalists need to learn how to apologize when they make mistakes.  [...]

We do not need apologies from MSM “journalists”, we just need actual journalist and not political activists.

We need to go back to the separation of news and opinion.

 

We need to go back to the reporting of what has happened and what is happening and away from the what “might happen if” ramblings.

 

We need to go back to getting the reporting done right, with facts and testimony to support it, rather than getting the reporting done first and let the facts wander along later.

 

We need to stop thinking that late night comedians are reliable news sources.

 

Most of all, as all of the above is as likely to happen as a Hillary Clinton presidency, we need to stop listening to one side of the story.

Very nicely stated, guys.  Agree 100%, except the chance of a Hillary presidency is not totally zero.

Revulsion Derby:  Media Coverage Of Trump Attack 

 

Following the shocking assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday, the biggest story aside from the incident itself has been the corporate media's appallingly unprofessional reaction to it – ranging from downplaying the attack that left one innocent bystander dead and two more seriously injured to outright blaming Trump for the attack.  [...]

WATCH:  Trump Drops the Mic After Reporter Asks Why He Visited a City 'Linked to White Supremacy'

 

Donald Trump appeared in Howell, MI, on Tuesday as part of a sprint through several battleground states, with the Republican nominee seeking to offer voters some counter-programming to the Democratic National Convention.  As campaign stops go, there wasn't anything unique about this one.  The former president appeared with local police and laid out his vision for the country, something he's done many times.

 

The press wasn't interested in that part of the trip, though.  Instead, they've spent the last few days obsessing over the fact that some KKK members once marched in Howell.  Naturally, that means Trump must be showing some form of tacit support for white supremacy.

Yes, it's as stupid of a contention as has ever existed, and when Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he was ready.  It was a mic drop moment, rhetorically speaking at least.  [...]

Outlets Dismissing Kamala's McDonald's Fabrication Shows the Press Truly Acting As Her PR Corps

 

It has been quite evident that our national media circuit is working hard to see that Kamala Harris is elected the first President to reach the highest office with zero voter support.  What makes this potentially historic is she is one step away from the Oval Office despite two primary elections taking place without her earning a single delegate vote.

 

But the Democrats and the press are deeply concerned with our democratic process becoming threatened.  Sure.

To see just how corrupt the journalists in the country have become, let’s take a look at the reaction to this week's revelation that Kamala Harris, despite the boasting for weeks that she once worked at a McDonalds, evidently never actually worked at a McDonalds.  [...]

Morning Glory:  The worst debate in the history of presidential debates

 

Not one question Tuesday night about the execution of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages two weeks ago, or about any of the Americans murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7?

Not one question on Iran, which is within weeks of acquiring a nuclear weapon and which is paying and perhaps precisely directing repeated attacks by its proxies on American forces in the Gulf or Arabia, the Red Sea, Iraq or Jordan?

Not one question about the capacity of President Joe Biden to continue as president?

And not one, single fleeting question about the People's Republic of China, and its genocide against the Uyghurs, its oppression of Hong Kong, its threat against Taiwan or the Philippines, or its military buildup, the largest, most expensive peacetime military buildup in history?  [...]

Debate Moderators Bringing Up J6 But Not Trump Assassination Attempt Tells You Everything About Media Corruption

 

Why would the debate moderators ask about Democrats inciting a would-be assassin when they can just keep recycling the lie that Trump incited a violent mob?  [...]

Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged

Veteran Democratic pollster Mark Penn said "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done [...] to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate."  Penn is not the only one.

 

[...]

 

"I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm.  I don't know how much of this was planned in advance," Penn told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast.

"I don't know what they told the Harris campaign.  I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate.  I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added.  [...]
