Current Events » in reply to Media suffering from bruised egos after Thanksgiving trip

Media angry at being exposed as beggers at the Presidential table.

Instead of whining, they need to understand that a good journalist is not someone who gratefully takes the press releases doled out by the White House suits. Or the Congressional suits, or any suits at all.

A good journalist follows up. A good journalist has independent sources. A good journalist doesn't take anyone's word for anything without corroboration. A good journalist is a pain in the butt.

Let's hope the White House has just reminded a lot of journalists that they were silly to trust the suits.
