    Journalists aren't supposed to write "the TRUTH" they're supposed to inform the facts, and if it's too complex show both sides, to give people some context. the truth is for the readers to find out.

    The kind of truth you're talking about is investigative journalism and you're not suppossed to believe everything. Read what's out there and criticise and take a stand.

    Nah. Most are sons or daughters of political or media elite. Daddy got them their job down at CNN or ABC or wherever. And it shows. Run a biography search on them and you'll find that many of them are products of the nepotism/ favoritism game. Quite similar to Hollywood. But not quite THAT bad. Haha.

    Some of them do, some of them don't. Some of them know how to take the truth and sensationalize it so much, that it becomes less than truthful.
