  The fearmongering flack who coined the term "Obamageddon" for reasons about which I shall not speculate has some Real Thoughts about journalism that does not line up with his view of the universe. Quelle surprise. Would you like to have a substantial discussion about the claims to which I responded, or are vague insinuations all we're getting? 'Cause I'll be honest with you, the idea that you're tying ethics to "report the score and go home", as a fan of both the discovery of truth and of the written word, and then when challenged fall back to fear-porn peddlers like Gerard Celente kinda makes me salty.

    Report the score and go home is the absolute only job of a true journalist. If it is a controversial issue they would be entirely corrupt not to lay out the details of all sides. That is why news used to have dedicated opinion columns, before all the news went most entirely opinion. I have no idea who Celente is, other than being listed on that wiki page as the source of that term. Your ad hominem attack tells me I'm on the right track though.
