We have TV celebrities with sloppy reporting skills. Most will blindly bleat out some piece of propaganda without ever doing any fact finding or confirmation of the story on their own. They are far more interested in being "first" than being right.

We deserve better and it's time we demanded it.

In most TV operations,the Producer writes the script and the On Air Talent(so called reporter)just reads his or her I-Pad or Teleprompter. It has to be embarrassing for the so called field reporters today.

a major metro TV Station. Great money,gave it up because of the Managements demand for a conservative negative spin on social stories. Writing lies was not his cup of tea.

people have zero idea of what happens behind the scenes when it comes to the Infotainment(News).

Digging for truth is work, writing a coherent story is hard, writing bad about both sides of an issue shows "balance" and never mind if one side is true and the other false--you don't want to "look biased"!
