Journalist, news network or blogger -- it all comes down to brand. "Do you trust the source?", for millions, Fox news is a "trusted source" in spite of published memos from the business side telling editorial staff to change stories. I haven't seen a trust system implemented on the web I'd have confidence in to resolve to automatically suggest a trust weight either.
- eli 18y agoI disagree. The Portfolio piece has specific, verifiable facts that contradict the story that had been circulating. Verifiable facts with citations always trump vague unsourced rumors.
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoThis seems like an unusual charge to make against a national news organization, so I googled into this last night. Got a link? All I could find were the 33 memos put out by a VP in charge of all news content and an attack piece being promoted by a political group and a few former employees. I also found Fox's challenge to release all internal memos if other organizations do the same. What I didn't find was mainstream collaboration that reporters were directed to change news content. I like studying the media in general (used to do some reporting) and while it seems fashionable by some to slam Fox, this is the first I've seen of anything tangible. So I'd love to hear more about it if you've got anything.
