It's not unexpected that journalists will be "morally indefensible" in manipulating their writing to maximize their audience, and their profits. That's normal commerce. The problem is the audience. When they become so easy to manipulate that journalist fraud becomes the norm, that society is unlikely to survive. The quickest solution is to make the fraudulent journalists irrelevant to by counter journalism through competitors. Lots of competitors out there. Don't be star struck by the Times.

As a society, we need to begin focusing on teaching the young to think, critically and independently. Save the schools to save the nation.
