Journopaigning
There are historical published standards for journalists to ensure that we don’t have to say “The news media are the enemy.” We need journalism. Desperately. Full stop.
I’m not sure why I am often the only one repeatedly harping on about this. It is as if no journalists or news media still take this seriously. But you are definitely *not* allowed to engage in Journopaigning (campaigning under the guise of objective reporting).
A correct guilt free quote would be “The news media that repudiate and scoff at the strictist journalistic ethics so as to advance their agendas and vendettas using ‘journalism’ as protective cover, are the enemy of the people, and should be crushed for a free society to remain free.”
I would never say "the media are the enemy of the people". We actually need a mainstream media that does its job.
But any media outlet which called Trump's rally a Nazi rally or called him Hitler is the enemy of truth and democracy. And therefore an enemy of the people.
We may not often agree on politics.
Let me know how I can help my friend.
Journopaigning is a scourge against all decent people.
