Ah, the smear begins.
If you don't toe the line on the Washington Consensus you're not a 'journalist', you're an 'activist'.
Hint: 'objectively' reporting on only the approved message coming out of the government isn't objective at all. I'd take this as yet another warning sign (if more were needed) that mainstream newspaper journalism in America is deeply unhealthy; who needs the likes of Pravda, Izvestia, or TASS if the nominally 'free' press is happy to bend over and distribute your propaganda voluntarily?
- Shivetya 13y agoBeen waiting for it, going to see the Administrations sycophants in the press line up and declare those who don't follow the approved script of somehow being in cahoots with those they report on. First it was going after the Fox reporter, after all he worked for FOXS NEWS, now we got a few more targets because the government was caught red handed and worse, looks inept in grabbing a single person. Should be fun to see who sides with who.
