State of News Reporting Today

"Journalists today are not the journalists of yesteryear. There are I believe 13 major media moguls that own most of everything - newspaper, radio, TV and magazines. Today's journalists take something written in the big house and just add their own flair. Many prominent journalists have left mainstream media and work for underground or small upstart news agencies. If an expose of Ebay ever comes about - this is where it would come from.

By Ebay keeping it's mouth shut - it has shortened it's time in the public eye rather than continued it as there are so many more news worthy stories main media thinks we should see.

I too thinks that something should be siad and an apology made but it will never happen."

Yep, The Hoe is following the strategy that's worked so well for one Barry Hussein Soetoro: denial and silence. Pretend there's nothing to the story, that it's all a fabrication of your critics.

"Journalism hardly exists these days.

A company sends out a press release saying basically anything it wants.

The "journalist" takes it (AP, Reuters, whatever) and rewords it slightly and it gets printed.

There's no fact-checking, rarely an interview with the original source, rarely interviews with any other witnesses or parties to the info in the press release. Just a race to be the first to get a reworded version onto the "airwaves".

There are a few blogs where you get an editorial opinion but you have to hunt for them.


There are only a small handful of publications that add ANYTHING to what is in the press release or which question the veracity of the information in any way."
