In reply to the discussion: Will the media please STOP THE FUCKING INSANITY!!!!!!!!!! [View all]MedusaX
(1,129 posts)I realize that there is a risk associated with identifying a duck .... as a duck
And I understand that innocence is the given status until legally proven otherwise....
I also get that this is an unprecedented
un-presidency which puts the media in uncharted territory...
IMO
It would be far better if the media chose one of two approaches:
1. Just report the details...
Who, did what, when,
cite dates & locations &
supporting documentation
& cite sources as appropriate
Leaving the WHY (interpretation) up to the viewer/reader of the report....
If they just can't bring themselves to stay within the Joe Friday content parameters....
then at least present BOTH
the best/worst case scenario
Or most innocent / most nefarious possible motives
That way they
cover their asses regardless of what turns out later to be the 'accepted' motive/scenario ...
And
Can Satisfy their need to 'explain WHY' this event may have taken place....
IOW... either give us just the meat & bread
or give us the meat, bread & the entire array of condiments to choose from...
rather
than "fixing" the burger
according to their taste
before giving it to us.
