What's wrong with our Journalists? Pete Davis has some ideas worth perusing. As a former journalist I've been repeatedly disgusted at the way today's reporters slant their stories to promote their personal beliefs.
In his post, Pete wonders what difference, if any, we'd see in western journalism if the journalists were working for the terrorists in the war on terror.

What you wouldn't see is a weekly news magazine retract a story that was later verified as being true as a result of government pressure.
