this is an example why the quality of media reporting has deteriorated drastically, what this correspondence
show is how board room editors and bureau chiefs have diminish or replace quality reporting in place of buying
access to these candidates, in turn the electorates suffer in the process because instead of getting fact reporting
we get haphazard reporting combined with cynical opinions shoved down our throats as NEWS, while the most
important facts are left in the newsroom for editors to use as a bargaining chip for other events.
What this does is gives false hope to a party that does not need anything else but the truth of how their party
has gone so far right that there are now factions within the party that are so brave with their racism that they
feel they don't have to pretend anymore. Their outright racism is gone unchallenged because of events as
described above that are gone unchallenged by reporters who want nothing more than to ensure their fridge
is stack full with food while the rest of us gets screwed wondering what just happen.
There are no longer conscious driven reporters, all we have left are those that craves influence so much so
that they will do what ever it takes to be among the elites and do what ever it takes to stay there. How many
reporters or journalists have we seen throwing temper tantrums toward republicans and their outright racism?
No one wants to talk or write about it because they are afraid of losing that network they've worked hard to
establish.
Kudos to James Rosen for challenging his Bureau Chief with facts, maybe he can get him to think about what
led him to becoming a reporter.
