Here's a great example of what's wrong with the press - a local news story about a star national reporter visiting town:
‘Democracy Now’ host to speak at CSS Journalist Amy Goodman doesn’t just report the news. She’s willing to make it, too. By: Peter Passi, Duluth News Tribune

Journalist Amy Goodman doesn’t just report the news. She’s willing to make it, too.
[And this twit reporter thinks that's a good thing]
Goodman sued the Minneapolis and St. Paul Police Departments, the Ramsey County Sheriff and the United States Secret Service, eventually winning a settlement that included a payment of $100,000
[which she no doubt gave to the Obama Super Pac]
and an agreement that law enforcement officials would go through training to gain a greater appreciation of the First Amendment. [Just what they need]
“It’s not acceptable to give journalists a record just for putting people on the record,” she said, reflecting on the incident during a phone interview Tuesday.
[What in the WORLD does that mean?]
“As we move into convention season again, it’s very important that police understand the role journalists play in society.”
[snip out more stupid stuff]
Lately, Goodman has drawn encouragement from the involvement of people in “Occupy” demonstrations in cities across the country, including Duluth.
“It’s a movement that spans race, age, class and politics,” she said. “People are genuinely concerned about how our democracy could be drowned out by money and power.”
[And that is all you really need to know about the lefty bias of this "journalist".] |
