Would you buy a used car from a journalist?


Today's "mainstream" journalists have reached the level of used car salesmen, in a manner of speaking.

From the Media Research Center:

Thursday's edition of Good Morning America featured a Diane Sawyer anecdote that revealed the low opinion Americans have of journalists. After wrapping up a 7:30am segment on people who avoid jury duty, the ABC co-host laughingly recounted the "hurtful" experience she had in a courtroom: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."

That illustration should tell Diane Sawyer--and other journalists--something. And you don't fix a problem by repeatedly pretending it doesn't exist.
