My eyes almost popped out of my head while reading this New York Times Article this morning.
By now most of us have heard about the fact that ABCs "This Week" has started the radical practice of actualy Fact Checking the nonsense that goes on in its shows. Of course the fact checking instead of being done by knowledgeable journalists (that rare species) in real time gets done about a week later and only on-line.
Apparently thats too much for our hero David Gregory. Mr. Gregory had this to say.
...accountability is "in the DNA" of his program. He said he had considered Mr. Rosen’s idea but concluded that people can fact check the program on their own online.
Yes why should the press worry about facts??? Their job is to look pretty and make sure that "Very Serious People" can get on TV to say "Very Important things". The truth is .... just "quaint" I guess.
Of course what more could you expect from this guy?
