Making a Comeback?
There are different examples of making a comeback. A business on the ropes can file for bankruptcy and start all over. A once proud sports team can fall on hard times, but with a new coach and other improvements, become a winner once again.
Our loser today is journalism.
University journalism schools have given up on impartial reporting. Don't know how this happened, except that leftist professors want the news to reflect their attitudes. Truth be dammed.
Two TV networks do a decent job of presenting both sides. One of them runs a spot saying, "We don't tell you how to think."
Our national TV news once meant ABC, CBS and NBC. Today, those outfits are owned by businesses that could care less what they report. Just keep the commercials going. And the lies ... who cares?
Yours truly graduated from journalism school in 1961, when impartial reporting was a given. So, we hate lying, whether in the "news" or in any other activity on God's green earth.
There may be a comeback. The November election has given our nation a chance at truthfulness. Politicians can't do much with college professors, but we can hope.
Trump has already made clear - universities will no longer tolerate antisemitism. There is evidence the lying journalists will be less influential than they have been. Yea!
