Getting the story is far more important than getting
the story right. That's the state of journalism today.

I really doubt that it's ever been different. As William Randolph
Hearst
told one of his photographers over a hundred years ago, "You supply the
pictures, I'll supply the war".


Hearst was the entire newspaper industry?

I'm not sure how in the world you came to that conclusion, because
absolutely nothing in my statement indicates that I believe that to be the
case.

The state of journalism in this country may be poor, but it's certainly
not
helped by the state of reading comprehension.

Maybe if you understood that your alluding conduct of an entire industry to
a single individual?

I was doing nothing of the sort, of course.

Maybe if people had better WRITING comprehension

Why don't you fix your punctuation before you go off on this particular
tangent, 'kay?

, much less critical
thinking ability...

No wonder you hate the media...they're simply too complicated for you.
