Terry Moran, long-time ABC news reporter, was fired by ABC for posting that supposed Trump advisor Stephen Miller (is he really a government employee being paid with our tax $? Hard to believe) was a hater. Why does ABC care what he posts? I suppose they think they will be perceived as being partisan toward the left. But back in the day, when every city had at least 3 newspapers, every paper had a partisan slant. Now that there are thousands of news outlets, every one should take a stand in some direction.
The problem is news outlets are getting like sports outlets. They want access to the powers that be, so they buddy up and embed themselves. But you really don't need access. Whether it's a sports front office, player, White House or government agency, they either say inane things, or embellish or withhold reality. You have to wonder if reporters are worth the money if all they can do is sit around the White House press office and ask questions that never get a straight answer. Get out in the real world and observe and listen. Same way with these people who've just had their home blown away in a tornado. Why do these reporters bother them? Just observe and listen.
Just watch the game, political or sporting, tell us the facts and give your take on it. We don't need to hear what these primadonas have to say or what their lives are like. Like Joe Friday said in Dragnet,"Just the facts, ma'am."
