American journalism is beginning to resemble British yellow journalism such as the Sun, a tabloid reeking with vicious attacks on anything or anyone as long as papers sell. I am particularly tired about the insistent harping on what a candidate did or said 40 yrs ago. Contrary to popular belief (for which i hold as much regard as i do for the IQ of dehydrated carrot) change is good. If someone sticks to or continues with the same behavioral antics of yesteryear that strongly suggests illiterate and boneheaded ignorance.
A good example is the use of marijuana. I have yet to meet any college student from the 60's who has not at least tried it once. And so what? I suppose that getting drunk and driving into walls is a better method of judging character?
Please wake up and stop sounding like tabloids all the time and lets have some real analysis and reporting. And please, no more 6 o'clock news presented by over coiffed cretins and their desperate attempt at witticisms.
thanks
