N.B.: Unsurprisingly, not one of the journalists contacted regarding the above cartoon wished to comment. Journalists really have become a sad lot today. TRUTH telling has certainly NOT become their prime motivation. So many forces push the weak into a particular professional mold. The forces of business, politics, wealth, advertising, and readership push them to supress TRUTH whenever that TRUTH might be deemed offensive those elements. Because journalists learn to play the professional game of diversion, deceit, and diplomacy, they pose a threat to the health of democracy.
