Another conservative "journalist"



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

So why is it that the term "liberal journalist" means someone who has democratic sympathies but tries to keep them out of their work, whereas "conservative journalist" means someone who is a whore who tries every trick in the book to fake the news in order to snooker the public and win at all cost?

The sad part is that at the same time the conservatives are angry at so-called liberal journalists, they're proud as hell that their "journalists" aren't even trying, or even trying to appear, as if they're after the truth.

And every single one of you journalists out there who has sat back and written nothing about the GannonGuckert story has helped the rightwing further create an environment in which the definition of "journalism" now includes partisan propaganda hacks whose only goal is to corrupt the truth for political (and monetary) gain. GannonGuckert is being depicted as the conservative counterpart, counterweight, to YOU. I.e., he's equal to you in every way, simply that you're a liberal and he's a conservative. And they're getting away with it. He not only diminishes you, he diminishes the entire profession.

And your wonderful little correspodents' association couldn't care less. If you guys can't define who you are, what you are, what qualifications it takes to become one of you, then why are you even there in the first place? You would be the first profession on the planet that can't - or is afraid to - define what you are and what you do.

Think about that the next time you take a pass on this story.
