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?

Hearst was a newspaper icon. Bill Gates wasn't the entire software
industry, but he's more qualified to comment on the workings of the software
industry then, say, a pilot.

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?

Maybe if people had better WRITING comprehension, much less critical
thinking ability...

I was doing nothing of the sort, of course.

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.

Yes, you were, of course.

Why don't you asnwer the question and staop making excuses, brat.

Sure, punk...you and your 6th grade (public school) mentality.

Nonsense. In response to Mr. McNicoll's assertion that "Getting the story is
far more important than getting the story right", I cited the Hearst example
in order to illustrate that such a state of affairs was nothing new.

There was a question?

I'm sorry you're confused, Tom. All of this is really quite simple and easy
to follow, believe me. You just have to try harder.
