The Times-Reporter
I’m a news junkie. There’s no getting around it. The older I get, the more likely I will be found checking out the TV news channels and then watching the every five-minute repeats to see which spin each channel sends out.
My interest lies mainly in objectivity, something very few of the stations today practice. In my high school and college journalism classes, objectivity was unbreakable, unchangeable, unfailing law. If you wanted to pass the course, you never, I mean, NEVER, made anything up, expressed an opinion or reported something you couldn’t substantiate and attribute. Gone are the days. Most news channels today are more for entertainment than real news.
