The true journalist produces a product that is not acceptable to the rightward movement in the country. So he/she is relegated to some inconspicuous spot where the dissenting word is never heard.

Just like that piece I saw on the Newsroom of the guy following the pres candidate. He didn't report the "news" as he was told so he was cast out.

Starts early. If he/she manages to get hired, it won't be for long.

Our political candidates follow the same paradigm.
