So, there is a headline on Yahoo today that says "The Duck Dynasty Clan:  "Vote for Hillary, I dare you!""  So I clicked on the article, because frankly, I was in shock.  And the article is some opinion piece about how the Duck Commander and his family should be Democrats over Republicans because they love the land and Democrats are the environmentalists and WHAT IF they said "Vote for Hillary, I dare you!"  Wow.  That kind of "journalism" and headline misleading is just plain wrong, whether you agree or like them or not.

Time is ripe for a "real" news outlet to be born. One with reporters and writers who actually check and double check facts and with editors that help keep opinion out of the articles. Opinion Editorials are fine especially since they are labeled as such, but news stories shouldn't lean one way or the other. The WSJ at one time was touted as such a news outlet, I was even allowed to use their research as sources when writing papers in college, can't do that anymore!

And yet, the media is stunned by the fact that the public has no faith in their reporting.

Junk journalism needs to be clearly labeled as junk.

Doesn't the media have some lower approval in opinion polls than congress?
