''The internet is not a reliable medium,' cautions Kleinsteuber, 'because it reflects not the work of reliable journalists but that of eyewitnesses...'
I wonder if he realizes the gravity of what he has actually said, i.e. the mainstream media is more accurate than eyewitnesses???!!!
This is precisely the attitude in journalists nowadays that causes myself and millions of others to question any news agency's credibility
The mainstream media used to be a reliable medium back when its goal was to report the facts. Now it's used largely by new agencies to spread bias and opinions with hopes of persuading the general public to its particular slant. The problem the mainstream media faces is that the internet with its multiplicity of internet news and blog sites can effectively expose the maintream media's credibility or lack thereof, and there's not a thing they can do about it.
I think the internet is the greatest counter balance to the biased reporting of so-called credible news agencies that I've ever seen come along.
