“Our job is not to report both sides. One side says it’s raining and the other side says it is not raining. Our job is to look out the window.”
There is a subtlety to this that I hope is noted: The point is not that the reporter must report whether or not it is raining, nor that the reporter cannot avoid the question of whether or not it is raining by reporting that one side says it is and the other says it is not.
The point is that the reporter must report what both sides have said AND report whether or not it is raining.
That way, we don't just know the truth. We also know who we can trust, and who we can't.
@Professor_Stevens Very well put :)
@aral Yep, social media said Biden's laptop was real. deep-state operatives said it was misinformation. The medias job was to find out yet they just repeated what the deep-state said.
There is something not right with the mainstream media.
