[QUOTE="Pacal, post: 409149, member: 4318"] Journalists have to sell these days. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times presents their reporters with statistics on how many people have read their articles. Some papers hand out bonuses based on readership. That's why every journalist is on Twitter. They're constantly trying to promote/sell themselves and their work. Whitlock is an opinion columnist. His job is to be opinionated -- sometimes, opinionated to the extreme. Opinions, whether they distort facts or not, are an essential part of journalism. Newspapers rail against corrupt politicians. They endorse candidates.They are either conservative or liberal or neither. You can't always stay "neutral" on subjects. That's where the columnist comes in, and that's what Whitlock does. As for the National Enquirer, yes that is journalism. A different kind of journalism. Just like TMZ is journalism. The National Enquirer brought down a presidential candidate, after all. [/QUOTE]
