Note the part where "journalists have standards" too....
Standards of what? Ineptitude?
Every single time I've had first-hand knowledge of something that is covered by the press, they've screwed up around 50% of the facts. That's from local to national news, across the board. They're incompetent and they have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
What the reasons behind that are, I have no idea. Could be a consipiracy having something to do with advertising dollars and the government wanting to maintain the status quo of the the "sheeple"...But I just usually chalk it up to the part where it's a business and not a public service...So it's all about pandering at both ends of the product line.
