From David Von Drehle:
“Among media critics (and who, after all, is not a media
critic — there is so much to criticize), one sees a dangerous trend. Reporters
are increasingly urged to be definitive, to call out “liars” and defend
“science” and hurl all sorts of Zeus-like thunderbolts adjudicating the Truth.
This is a terrible idea.”
“It is not the journalist’s job to tell people what to
think. The job is to question, to learn and to share those learnings — as well
as their limits. In weighing the credibility of sources, we must first examine
ourselves.”
