"The ABC's of Journalism's Eroding Integrity" and other stories about the media (UPDATED!)

By Alan Caruba at Warning Signs  "I joined the Society of Professional Journalists... thirty-three years ago. The preamble to its Code of Ethics says, “Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility” and that journalists should “test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent errors.” "
...."The kind of reporting that has become the hallmark of ABC News is an insult to everyone.
....
"The ABC News product increasingly ceases to be journalism. It is sensationalism. It is reprehensible. It’s time to let ABC News feel the sting of public disapproval."  Full Article...  (Emphasis added)


Caruba's piece naturally leads us to these other related stories:

Sad...The death throes of a once noble profession and the protectors of the freedom.
