Reply #132: On journalistic responsibility...

[pipi_k]

I think that's a great idea, personally

Lots of people still get their "news" from mainstream sources...the so-called "journalists" who enable the liars in the first place. In addition to rewarding them when they do their jobs and slapping them hard when they don't, I think people also need to communicate with the people supporting the people who enable the lies....i.e. advertisers.

Write to companies and tell them "I won't buy such and such a product if you keep advertising on ________ channel or in ________ magazine or newspaper, and here's why..."

Then let the channel or printed media know...


Honestly, I think most of the bullshit being flung around (that's being believed by naive/intellectually lazy people) is being done by ignorant/greedy/evil MSM hacks calling themselves "journalists".
