It'd be fair to say that you worked at one place with a lousy business section, making you suspicious of business journalism.
It'd be fair to say you worked at one place with a lousy business section, making you think there are others out there like it, but to crap on ALL of them based on your experience at one?
I'm not expecting this to go anywhere. You've made your mind up on this. I'm just trying to point out that the reasoning here doesn't clock.
- ojbyrne 18y agoAlong with the one newspaper, I've got 2 business degrees where I got to hear about the manipulation from the other side. Then there's the digg experience, where Jay and Kevin could fabricate whatever the hell they wanted to, and it would be printed verbatim in many, many blogs, magazines, newspapers, whatever. I can give you many examples. Or you could actually search for articles - there's plenty out there - about how business magazines and business sections of newspapers out there that suppress info because it displeases advertisers. That's not to say there isn't good biz journalism out there - just as a random example, for every 100 breathless, admiring article about Enron back in the day, there was one journalist who actually tracked down the truth.
