What we don’t have enough of are copy editors. I see a few typos above.

It may be sound mundane but it is a valid point of view that the world of journalism has too few reporters presenting the who, what, when, where and why aspects of the storyline as well as hardly any investigative reporters who will initiate due diligence with an inquiring mind . . . ‘The people’ will drink the water if it is untainted and unpolluted.

As far as I am concerned, and from what I have seen, I have come to believe that there are way too many selfish socialist liberal minded thinking journalists who have refused to do their jobs correctly and who have chosen not to report the true facts, even if they ever did take any time to investigate them. And I stopped subscribing to the local newspaper a long time ago because I learned that it was a total waste of my time and money. And much to my amazement, I still continue to receive the daily newspaper on my doorstep(free of charge), against my will ! Now how crazy is that ? Anyway, it quickly gets tossed into the trash where it belongs, because I quickly note that what should be making front page headlines never does ! And so I continue to get my news elsewhere from many other reliable sources, such as AIM. Thanks, AIM !

Like Diane, I too am disgusted with opinion pieces disguised as NEWS STORIES that appear on the front page of our local paper. The stories that should be in the paper are buried in the back section, or totally missing. There is a great deal of double standard reporting going on. If a liberal politician is suspected of any irregularity then it is no big deal. If a conservative politician is suspected of the same kind of irregularity, then the liberals want to have the situation investigated by the FBI and to begin congressional hearings. I found a story about a questional payment of over $250,000 of state funds by our liberal governor for photographs taken of him. The state is going through a severe budget crisis and this unnecessary expenditure should have been big news. The paper printed the story in the back of the paper, above funeral notices. We, here in Denver, have partnerships between the local paper and a TV station. The TV news program will report on part of a breaking story and refer the viewer to the newspaper for additional information. The newspaper does the same thing with the same story. Meanwhile, the actual facts of the story never get reported in either account.

From going through A to Z of local and universal journalism’s publication with problems on various levels of statistics, there seems something amiss here. Don Ervine attempts to make comparison from country to country. The genuis of this individual in driving home the point is clearly the final straw. Are there too many journalists amassing readers galore, with less profits through public circulation; or are these perpetual public subscribers supportive of news print keeping any news industry afloat, with inflation knawing away at the very roots of global journalism. Naturally, reorganizing with cut backs and sleezing readers with usedless reporting, is the outstanding cause on bringing anxiety amongst any publication within global news industries. It’s a shame for some reporters having a heart to practice editorial professionalism being shuffled into the Public Relations Dept, and then the unemployment line, because of a corporation’s driving attrition comes into play. But the under lying truth now comes into play.

Journalism is a field where special individuals aquire responsibilty to give facts to subscribers. Actually, these unique individuals have chosen a field that is somewhat allied with personality inclinations to deal with past situations, in life that have been surpresssed/represssed consciously, or inhibited in an arbitrarily manner. Literally, thousands of honest journalists the world over of all cultures and religions suffer what is known as, ” The Personality Suppression complex syndrome.”

Further, we must consider the run-of-the mill journalists of whom make the day, clock watchers, in acquiring daily bread to survive. This classical hoard of individuals are aloft as to truth, most harbor masochistic inclinations of personal self-hatred reaching back to earlier child hood. This class thrives on feeding news-hungry mobs searching for their feel alikes, sitting behind a type writer pounding away on any topic geared to demoralising humanistic mobs with dishes of mental depravity. In other words, this classical consortment of local and international alphbetical jugglers are in them selves dangerous menaces to the public of whom survive on pure dribblerness. These home-made sypcophants, were cowards at birth. This is the mommy type that will have a willfu bowel movement, in causing a mother alarm that her lovely child needs a psychiatrist. There are little surpressions.repressions,or inhibitions burried within the subconscious store aways. These dirt baggers are only psycho-sickos hanging around in gassing their inner thoughts in harmony with demented pathological intentions. Here we have the classical creature, humanoid, suffering from what is termed, ” THE PERSONALITY SUPPRESSION GRAVITATIONAL COMPLEX SYNDROME”. This is the critical stage. Here the personality is at a very questional existence.

It was a moment of personal grandeur, in reading Mr. Don Irvine’s truly classical journalistic exploration respective of too many journalists. With little ease, most psychologists comprehend that the main concern of any publication is to watch over honest reporters on the first stage of weeding out non-productive elements. They are the very foundation of any and all reputable publications. Any well established public organ of news print should worry about the little chicks that the hen must care for daily.
