It's absolutely sickening to me how much spin there is in media these days. It's like some people are allergic to just giving straight facts.
It's no wonder so many people can't tell fact from fiction anymore. Many so called journalists could use a refresher course in ethics.
I also believe that a journalist knowingly lying ought to face prosecution, especially if their misinformation leads to harm.

I agree, I don't watch the news like I use to
cause you never know if what their saying is true or not
& what news I do watch is something I can rely on.1 person likes this

One key to accurate reporting is fact checking, but even that has its limits. I can forgive an honest mistake a lot easier than I can a deliberate deception. @2ndchances24

News has become wearisome. Journalists need to stop proclaiming they are a "noble" profession whereas journalism has always been deceitful and corrupt. The term "yellow journalism" was coined in the 1800s for that reason.
