Clear as daylight, journalism is in crisis. This article is primarily about how our climate change reporting is exaggerated to dangerous levels. I'd go further and say journalism's purpose to society is in danger of everyone loosing faith in our ability to honestly self report. If we don't believe the news, everyone is operating on an unknown assessment of any given situation. Given the necessity to "fill in the blanks" when you don't trust reporting, people quickly exaggerate themselves away from reality. As respect and accuracy of news reporting drops, we all become blind. Seems like a very difficult nose dive to pull out of: our news media is how society talks to itself, that is in crisis.
