The main stream media has lost all journalistic integrity.
from the Washington Post:
Headline:
Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise
story:
The message [email threat], which accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ+ community, named a store in South Burlington, Vt., and ones in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and in Keene and West Lebanon, N.H.
The unknown senders said Target “betrayed the LGBTQ+ community” and “are pathetic cowards who bowed to the wishes of far right extremists who want to exterminate us.”
The headline wants you to think right wingers are sending bomb threats because of the sale of the pride merchandise.
If they had any sense of journalistic integrity, the headline should read:
Target stores see more bomb threats over REMOVAL of Pride merchandise
Absolute effing trash journalism. Basically incitement.
Would love to hear comments from reasonable people.

You do realize that FOX news just paid 780 Million dollars in a lawsuit and basically admitted they lied to viewers knowingly and their commentators had text messages saying how dumb and ignorant their viewers were
But I guess in your world FOX is not mainstream and liberal Democrats especially liberal teachers are making your kids gay or trans

There are a lot of reports that independent news sources and journalists have suffered increasingly dwindling numbers and persecutions in recent years (past 3-5 years or so). I think this is worldwide. There needs to be more independent news sourcesmaybe new publishers as well.

I don’t think any of them are free from needing to use click-bait. You get paid off clicks. It used to be people would want a paper delivered and you paid for a subscription. Not that you can’t pay for online stuff like NYT but there’s still a lot of free stuff, and you need to get someone to click.
The basic headline isn’t specifically wrong. You just don’t like that it doesn’t says the LGBTs are calling in Bomb threats to Target because of their LGBT policies.-
The best example of so-called investigative reporting Ive seen to date is the 2012 CNN investigation into widespread cheating by radiology residents and their use of recalls. Sorry, but this investigation warrants an investigation into itself. This was around the time I was a resident and the use of recalls was completely legal. Recalls were also posted everywhere online. Their use was encouraged by my program and my PD pulled me aside and asked me directly to write down recalls. There is no cheating here. You could not pass the exam by just memorizing recalls. Investigate CNN. The only thing their witch hunt accomplished was exploiting and scapegoating hundreds of hardworking radiology residents. Its wild how they almost compare the use of recalls which was considered a rite-of-passage and tradition, to be akin to a soldier in the military following unethical orders. Well, Im sorry I opened fire on unarmed women and children by using recalls. As well as for the unauthorized use of top secret study material-which was widely available on any online search engine-and promoted by those responsible for training. If you think thats an exaggeration, that pretty much how that piece reads. I guess CNN accomplished its goal of exploiting the broke and powerless. As well as eroding the publics faith in hard-working competent physicians they seem to treat as naughty cheating children. Follow all money trails on this one.
