Washington Times Stops Reporting, Just Reposts
Which is sadder…the fact that the distinction between the Washington Times and Fox News is virtually non-existent, or that the Times has simply stopped trying to do anything resembling responsible reporting and is simply reposting from blogs without doing any fact-checking? At what point do should you be required to no longer refer to yourself as a journalist? When does a newspaper stop being a newspaper?
Wash. Times posts doctored transcript to claim Jennings called for mandatory “LGBT course” for teachers | Media Matters for America
Continuing her paper’s witch hunt against Department of Education official Kevin Jennings, The Washington Times’ Kerry Picket reprinted a doctored transcript — originally posted by a conservative blog — of 2008 comments by Jennings to falsely claim Jennings had said he wanted teachers to be required to “take an LGBT course” — a claim also echoed by the Fox Nation.

I saw this on Media Matters. Yeah, it’s rage-making. And crazy-making.
Seriously, an informed populace is a GOOD THING. When did we lose sight of that?

Well, it is SO much easier to just repost. I find it amusing that newspapers and such are always bitching about how bloggers don’t do any real reporting and just steal content.
It seems that they’ve decided that this is a better business model.
Which only goes to show that if someone is getting paid, they have an agenda.
