Poor Reporting
Reader comment on item: Note to Readers on Tennessean Story

The near universal lack of quality displayed by the current crop of "journalists" employed by major media outlets and their affiliates begs the question; do they have any credibility in reporting these days? Ask anyone with intimate knowledge of something reported on by regular media outlets and they'll tell you, the stories are rife with errors, omissions and outright falsehoods. Bias is built into a large percentage of stories. Apparently, straight news doesn't sell. Unless it's massaged to pander to extremes on the left or the right (depending on the outlet), it doesn't lead. It's not reporting at that point, it's propoganda.

Meanwhile, Edward R. Murrow is rolling in his grave.
