Like two-year “teachers’ colleges”, journalism schools impart rote mechanics, attract candidates least capable of “reporting” anything. As certified ignoramuses, their so-called “news” degenerates to crass and vulgar personality profiles. Absent “editorial” appreciation of context and perspective, drivel reigns… absolute lack of coherence or integrity plus veritable contempt for audiences or readers combines to produce vicious frauds aka Dan Rather or ongoing propagandistic disgraces such Pinch Sulzberger’s egregious voice-trumpet.

Bloggers as “co-respondents” develop reputations for expertise, intelligence, beyond the sadsack scope of newsroom payrollees. AP, Reuters et al. sleepwalk like zombies into open tombs.
