The Founders understood for democracy (or republic) to work, the People would need honest information and the news. That's why the free press is the only business mentioned by name in the entire constitution. To fulfill their duties, Journalists must have integrity.
I, too, am an ex-reporter. My claim to fame was covering the Jack Kevorkian story and a crooked S&L that cost the U.S. taxpayer about $92 million. Back in the day, our publishers would find the resources to investigate a story and pursue it wherever the chips would fall. Things have changed.
Remember how the press looked like zombies as the United States attacked and destroyed an innocent country? Real journalists would never have gone along with the sham.
Thank you, chknltl. The honor is mine, Dear Friend! Not as many appreciate Truth as they should. Look how much money there is for those in public relations and propaganda and how little for educators and journalists.
