You're going to draw a legitimate parallel between some stupid mashed up picture Fox News used on their website against a coordinated attack on a 17-year-old kid which resulted in death threats? I understand, Fox News bad, but if you can't draw a distinction between these two then you need to examine your own understanding of journalism.

It isn't just that one thing, though. You have to know that.

Of course, on both sides. And to categorize it like that illustrates the absolute corruption of journalism. Political stunts performed by politicians does not bother me because that is what we expect them to do. Seeing the fourth estate, which is utterly critical for the effective exercise of democracy, become so perverted alarms me. The Sandmann incident exposes just how comfortable they've become as acting political agents rather than arbiters of truth. It's not only infuriating, but dangerous.
