Journalists are only step above politicians on the ‘Mezz Scale of Scumminess’
They will say to drug takers they are going to represent their point of view to get them to speak, then go the police and say they will represent their point of view to them to speak, end of the day the only bits that will make it into the report will be the extreme or controversial headline grabbing parts
Just say NO………….. to journalists lol
unless you live in some foreign dictatorship, you can elect politicians every so often according to your own political views.
Journalists are unelected and yet attempt to take on the rôles of the Police and politicians and even those of the covert security services.
The wider problem isn’t the publications themselves, some of which do genuinely take a fair and progressive line but many individuals see work on one of these merely as a stepping stone and so the moment one of the muckraking tabloids offers a better position they suddenly change their views.
there was this dude in my town called Carl Giles who made some excellent political cartoons, and there is a very subversve leftwing element in them, but as a young lad he walked away from a leftwing newspaper to the daily Express (where he stayed working for them until he retired) because they paid him way more money even when WW II was still raging.
