I'll try again.
I didn't claim that all journalists suck. Please try not to fall prey to black and white thinking when you're accusing someone of it.
> We need journalism.
I agree.
> let's call out errors
I agree.
> and bad work when we see it
I do and am.
> and continue to push for better journalism and new ways of researching, citing, and reporting facts
I agree again. I didn't write "all journalists suck" but since you seem to think I did, how would it be mutually exclusive with needing journalism, calling out errors etc and pushing for better journalism? That would interest me.
- unethical_ban 6y agoEssentially, when I read someone say "I don't know why anyone trusts journalists anymore", I triage the comment into the alt-right and/or nihilist folder. I know why we trust journalists. Because a number of them, though imperfect, do fantastic work reporting on the events of the world. Anyway. No big deal. I tend to see this sentiment bubbling up here, and it concerns me.
