Hatred of journalists on the rise worldwide, watchdog says

PARIS (AP) — Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders says hostility toward journalists is growing worldwide, often encouraged by political leaders — even in democratic countries.

The group's annual global index of media freedom released Wednesday found an overall rise in animosity toward reporters and a drop in freedoms, notably in former Soviet states but also in countries from the U.S. to the Philippines.

The group says many democratically elected leaders "no longer see the media as part of democracy's essential underpinning," singling out U.S. President Donald Trump for his media-bashing. It also notes the recent killings of reporters in EU members Slovakia and Malta.

So, the AP is blaming the orange-haired guy for stoking the flames of journalism hatred. Wrong...!

So-called Journalism, from the New York Times to the Washington Post, from ABC, CNN, CBS and MSNBC, from Telesur to the BBC, has earned the world's contempt, all by themselves. There is no more "journalism." The number of reporter's, editors, teleprompter readers and headline writers who wish to gather facts, then let the viewer/reader decide the logical sequences of events, has dropped to almost nothing, nobody. Everyone now has an opinion, and that opinion shapes the presentation of any news event. It's frightening. It's Orwellian in every sense. The 'far' left-wing has gradually taken over many of the prestigious television, newspaper and news source outlets. They no longer feel that political balance be part of their news reporting responsibility, even the government sponsored ones (Read PBS, ZDF and Hughmac's beloved BBC... :) ). It's shocking, unnerving. Everything is spun and shaped. You should believe this, and not that. Political agenda's, .....everywhere. What's the difference between Granma and MSNBC? I dunno. Not much. All have a left-wing political agenda, all lie and distort the facts to their viewers/readers.

Should we the viewing/reading public hate journalists?

Yup, they've earned every bit of our contempt....

Trump did break the establishment's monopoly of unchecked reporting. It's understandable why these leftists are angry.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.
