Gary Miller: Today’s journalists have no backbone
When did news outlets become the paparazzi of the news world? If it is not guns, guts, gore and political slandering it has become a non-story or it is twisted to make it into a political issue that it is not.
True journalists were men who stood up and declared what was true and correct, shone the light of justice into the dark areas of our every day life and didn't care who came after them because they knew what they where doing was right.
From what I read in this newspaper and see on the daily news programs those ideals are long dead. A police officer involved shooting, 30 seconds of film and every story is on how it was unjustified. That isn’t news that is gossiping, A crazed gunman shoots a group of people, headline next day is guns cause murder. That is fear mongering aimed at the masses it aint news, covering the victims and what police did right and wrong to stop the man and why he did it is news. I hear daily how people don’t want to see the news, as it is nothing but doom and gloom. I am starting to see why.
