Reporter caught just making stuff up again... Again

I think we have reached a point where media is entirely useless or at the very least entirely untrustworthy.

Sure before we had extremist press on the right or left, blatantly making shit up and twisting facts to persue their own agenda, and the mainstream press just reprinting press releases word for word without checking any facts, or even worse reporting on other news agencies stories without doing any added fact checking, so that one poorly written/researched peice can become nation rumor without ever having been subjected to the most cursory examination for truth.

But this is simply too much, I mean call me old fashioned but I expect reporters to at least see the things they lie about. Twice in the past year major journelists have gotten busted flat out making shit up. I suppose its what you get when there are no jobs for all those creative writing majors.

I have no sympathy for em, its not like being a reporter is the most difficult of jobs, sure it may not be as easy as being a tv anchor and just reading teleprompters, but really all they have to do is go places and tell what they saw, or hell, even just call people in those places and write down what those people saw.

But apparently that is too much like actually work
