It went down the toilet with the rest of radio and television.  I can't
say that I've seen the story you mentioned, but I've seen plenty of crap
journalism.  It really gets me is when you see a reporter interviewing
someone like a politician who is doing something outrageous, and the
reporter never even asks the "why?" question.  We even had one of our
journos get caught out making up a story, and their response to being
caught out was, "It doesn't really matter if it's not true, as long as
it's interesting enough."

Journalist - one who's told some unsubstantiated information, accepts it
as fact, and invents a story to go along with it.  Relies heavily on a
cliche handbook.
