Journalists should just report facts
Journalists reporting the news are expected to do just that – report the news using facts (as known at the time).
They should not interject emotion, drama and personal opinion in an effort to stir people up. Their intention is to further a goal. In many cases, this causes more hatred toward particular groups in this country.
The Democratic party has been using this method in the media for way too long, and it just causes more anger and resentment, even racism, among people of different ethnicities and races. When the Republican party uses this method, and we all know who is being called out and demonized for this, it becomes really evil – especially to the point of calling people Hitler, haters and racists.
Please stop letting non-journalists report the news. We have some true journalists out there, but they are in the minority. We need more of them.
