I found a quote a long time back that is attributed to Santayana: "History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there."
Journalists, like politicians and lawyers, are professional liars. While I often don't know the truth of a situation, if a bunch of journalists are writing about the same thing in the same way, I have a very difficult time believing that that is the truth.
- sofixa 5y agoThat's an extremely negative way of looking at things. Journalists aren't professional liars, they're like every profession, there are good people with integrity, there are not so good people with no integrity.
