Journalism Use to be....
Someone takes a certain idea and they present the facts and allow the reader to determine how they feel about a given subject. Allowing the reader to determine their own view based on the facts presented. Across Party lines and across political lines. They present the facts in an honest and straight forward manner. Then people develop their own opinion based on what they see. Being a free thinker and a level headed approach.

Sad, isnt it?
3 instances of bad journalism come to mind:
Richard Jewell - a case or gross negligence, where conjecture ran wild and journalists played judge, jury, and executioner in the court of public opinion.
Jussie Smollet - a case of turning a blind eye to the truth, while pushing a narrative that seeks to further the Journalist's political Dogma. If any one on this forum still believes Jussie's story, please raise your hand so I can know who you are.
Nicholas Sandmann - knowing the facts, but ignoring them in order to push a political narrative. Willing to destroy a young man who acted exemplary in the given situation. Sandmann got a lot of money out of CNN btw.
