A View on Journalism by a Trained Journalist

      The entire Washington Post Editorial Staff, Ditto the NY Times, and in fact the whole Washington Press Corp needs to take a Remedial Journalism Course immediately. The WAPO publication of illegally obtained transcripts of our Presidents Conversations was not only illegal, it broke every basic rule of objective Journalism. Journalism does not include Kamikaze Attacks on a President. Journalism is Honest and Fair, Objective, reporting of the Who, What, Where, Why, When, How, and maybe How Much of a new...s story. When you cross the line, and print and illegally obtained transcript of a private conversation, you violate the most basic rule of decency, the privacy every American espouses, and our Constitutional Rights.
       Opinion Articles belong on the Opinion Page and News Headlines are on a different page because of very Basic Journalistic Principles. When News Headlines become Op-eds news is no longer news but indoctrination. Americans are hungry for unbiased news sources. Even, (maybe I should say especially) our Local Evening News on TV has completely lost this objectivity. Our Region 8 News is reading verbatim propaganda Edited and Produced by Media Matter's the George Soros funded Media-Checker off the news wire. The stories are all twisted and worded to make the Trump Administration look bad. The America Public deserves better. Region 8 Viewers deserve better, Honesty in reporting is not too much to ask. Just give us the story and let we viewers decide which Congressmen, Lawyers, Businessmen, Actors, Bankers, and Manufacturers are telling the truth. Of course that won't be very many of the Congressmen, but let us make that differentiation.
      Fake Skewed Polls are just as bad. All the Polls seem heavily weighted with Democrats and Left-leaning Independents, and only carefully selected moderate Republicans. The few Polls I have been contacted by, didn't like my answers, asking questions over and over, and one hung up to get a better respondent for their purposes.
Romans 1:25 (KJV) 25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
