Actually, I will add that Stan deserves a lot of credit for publishing people , like myself and some others, with whom he disagrees. For that, Stan has earned my respect.
Over at the DR, when things got hot on their online comment section, the white rich and powerful convinced Burns to shut it down. The Manning - Pollard case being the last straw. In that case the DR wouldn't touch the story, however, citizens were happy to speak truth to power on the chat board and expose the sh*t show the Pitt County Sheriffs Department had turned into. Manning lost his election and Pollard went to jail. The DR missed an incredible opportunity to practice journalism but the good ol boy network was too strong. Almost.

What has happened in the newspaper business is that the ideologues are pushng out the journalists. For example, the Washington Post for years was sort of garden variety liberal but generally made an effort to tell both sides, until the family that had owned it for years sold it to leftwing oligarch Jeff Bezos, and now it is hard left, virtually unreadable. Some call it the Bezos Post. Similarly, the Raleigh News and Observer and Charlotte Observer were garden variety liberal, but told both sides enough that they were worth reading, but now the hard left California-based McClatchy Newspapers has bought both and turned them into mini-Pravdas. Readable old-style liberal newspapers have been turned into progressive propaganda rags, indeed cesspools.

Due to cost, most smaller papers in America abandoned journalism a long time ago. Reputable publications, like for example the Daily Reflector, publish stories written by journalists who work for larger publications that can afford to pay them.
That paper publishes a reputable mix of both right and left. But never a shmuck like Alex Jones.

On another front-looks like M Robinson is out. Now that’s journalism.

I guess then that you would claim that the "International Herald Tribune" is not a newspaper because all of its articles are verbatim from either the "Washington Post" or the "New York Times", and that it is not "journalism".

Running a cut and paste website is not journalism. Nothing wrong with it. But journalism? No

I dont know how any reasonable person could claim Stan is not a journalist. Those being jerks about this should look in a mirror.
Journalist - Wikipedia "A journalist is a person who gathers information in the form of text, audio or pictures, processes it into a newsworthy form and disseminates it to the public through various media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and online platforms. Journalists inform the public about current events, issues, and developments, serving as watchdogs of government and institutions and facilitating democratic discourse. This is called journalism."

Any medium has both quality and lack of quality, and always has. But the left's desire for political censorship of the internet is pure totalitarianism, no different than Hitler or Stalin.

An uncensored internet is what it is. Journalistically, its a cesspool. I am always amazed at those that cant tell the difference.

Stan, I was just being nice. Again, you appear to be a successful human being, just not a journalist.
Life is complex and interesting. Although I doubt you would ever admit it, you no more have this life figured out than the flea on my dogs butt. Truth is, none of us do. A wise man understands this and shows a little humility in the face of the storm ahead. As always, wishing you the best.

Lindsey Davis, David Muir and BB have the journalistic standards of Squealer from Animal Farm.

The 24 hour news cycle. It is killing us. SR you make some good points, just remember it’s a two way street. The far right including the BO does the exact same thing.
I would argue that to be a journalist, one must answer to an editor or editorial board. The far right has sought to discredit media who wont drink the kool-aid but none of their media answers to anybody. So although both sides are slanted, the far right just makes it up.

Old school journalism, where its practitioners followed any story no matter who it helped or hurt, told both sides, and were fair and objective, is dying, and is effectively dead as a dodo in the alphabet networks, wire services and major newspapers. It has been replaced by what those who now pose as journalists call "advocacy journalism" where it is all about taking a side and promoting that side. A more accurate term for "advocacy journalism" is "propagnda". That is why the presideintial "news" coverage of ABC News was 100% positive on Kamala Harris and 93% negative on Donald Trump. They were clear partisans and should never have been allowed to control a presidential debate.

Big Bob: You are a Leftist. You have to know that I do not seek your approval. Leftists live lies; know lies as truth; do and say really stupid things because of those lies.
These are those darkened days where Satan paints the darkest scenes in rainbow colors, so knowing what is true, what is real and providing that truth is journalism of the highest order in human endeavors. If that maxim was not enough to be considered a journalist before these sorry times, it truly is now.

No journalist would believe that. Being so determined to breath rarified air, by default, you are not a journalist.
Not saying you aren't successful at the things you do, you just don't do journalism.

Looking at those who pass for "journalists" on the MSMS media today, there only "standards" appear to be either being a hardcore partisan Dmeocrat or a card carrying Marxist. Objectivity, Fairness, or Balance are not part of their operating principles.

Linsey Davis and David Muir equate to very, very low standards of journalism. No integrity at all.

Obviously, there are NO standards for the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, Orwellian in Scope, so I rest my case that I am ...
A Journalist by Default. I can do a whole bunch of other stuff, at least, equally as well, so do not worry Big Bob; that whole "Journalist by Default" thing does not define me.

Yes Bobby technically you would be a pilot. But what kind of pilot?
In truth, you would be a "pile it," one that "piles dumb rhetoric here, and piles it there." You leave piles of it wherever you go. Just my humble opinion. Since the beginning of writing, we have had citizen journalist...hired or unhired. Why do always play stupid?

Woke fanatics seem to be clueless about the history of journalism. No surprise. They also need a professional to tell them what a woman is.
 Regarding the ABC rigging of the debate, honest people of all political stripes can see what happened. Only an idiot or an extreme partisan would deny it.

So if United hired me to fly one of their passenger planes, I’d be a pilot? You ok with that? On planet earth, a profession has standards. Stan is successful I in a variety of pursuits, but running a cut and paste web site does not make one a journalist.
