You know it happens, but you still think to yourself, "am I exaggerating? Is it really that bad?"
Yes. Yes, journalism is that bad, and always has been.
> Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed.
> I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various “party lines."
