Newsweek with its hands in the cookie jar

Remember growing up and trusting the news? It didn’t matter if it was cnn or abc you knew that they did there best to check out the facts and report them accurately. Today it seems like you can’t go a month without some news station admitting to making up stories or putting out lies as facts. Is this what we can expect from the once noble press? The ones charged with keeping the world honest but can’t stop lying themselves?

If you don’t like bush it does not give you the right to make up documents about him being AWOL. If you don’t like the US being in Iraq it doesn’t give you the right to lie about POW and there treatment to try to turn the world against the effort. Being a journalist is not about changing people’s minds to your ideology. It’s simply about reporting what happened.

It is time for the men and women of the news industry to step back and remember that the news should always be about facts; not spin or personal feelings.
