This breaking news issue that nobody was asking except people in the news business? Self serving fucks. It USED TO BE absolutely taboo to BECOME the story when tasked with reporting it. Now they practically invite it to happen.

I always will remember Wolf Blitzer declaring "The duke university players are NOW innocent" when the charges against them were dropped. Brilliant, Wolf. Because as we know, in America, you are presumed non-innocent until the charges are dropped. Yep, well said.

Nobody questions the premise anymore, and thats about the only reason we've ever needed a free press for. Now it really might as well be labeled as "entertainment".
