Amazed by JOURNALISTS

 

The first time I remember hearing about a journalist who had not executed their job properly was DAN RATHER at CBS who did not verify sources.  CBS removed him from his news anchor slot after that SNAFU.

Since then, there has been a gradual transition from journalists like Dan Rather to journalist who don't give a shit what they publish and if it is accurate or not.

For example:

• Russia Hoax
• Hunter Biden's laptop

It seems like misinformation is the norm but only conservatives, the Democrats say are responsible for publishing disinformation.  That in and of itself is misinformation.

But we also have a problem with journalist making something out of nothing just so they might be able to increase their readership.

Case in point:

I recently saw an article entitled, "Where did it go wrong for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever?"

Basically, one could say, it went wrong when the Indiana Fever played a superior team.

As I understand it, the Indiana Fever were lucky they got into the playoffs as the last team selected so unlike MARCH MADNESS in college basketball, the WNBA was pretty much not expecting any upsets.

NOT EXPECTING are the key words here.

But Caitlin Clark who is the Rookie of the Year, was expected by the media no doubt, to pull sometime out of her bag of tricks and take the Indiana Fever to number one.

It ain't gonna happen folks.

So, this ambitious writer had to make a big deal out of the loss by direction the reader's attention to where it might have gone wrong.

IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING A SUPERIOR TEAM...

and damned if it isn't just that simple.
