It's nice to see a journalist raising these kinds of concerns. I guess it's a kind of concern that has been on the increase for a couple of decades, since real journalism has been so much in decline. But then, the same line of inquiry has also has raised questions about just how real journalism ever was. The truth of course lies somewhere between the myth of the independent journalist doggedly defending the public good, and the insistence that it's all just "fake news." Or rather, the truth is just a lot more complex. Anyway, every time I hear Farrow interviewed, I sense something a little fishy, that I can't quite put my finger on. I think this commentator has identified a big part of it. sg -=- |
