By We
live in a time when “trusted journalist” is becoming an oxymoron and
one of those morons responsible for the tarnishing of journalistic
integrity is Tom Boggiono (“tbogg”) of Raw Story, an ideological rag that routinely blocks Men’s Rights Advocates (MRAs) merely for being MRAs.
There is no excuse for sloppy writing or sloppy thinking, especially in professional journalism. It is a highly competitive enterprise and a critical one: knowledge is power; lives can change forever with a few words and disasters happen when those words go astray. People’s lives can end over a turn of phrase.
Attention, employers: if you want to hire a sloppy liar to tar your publication with his mendacity on display to the public in ways so embarrassing that you’ll win the Tour de France by backpedaling, then Tom Boggiono can put the “oh, no” in your annual report.
