This lazy, thoughtless and sloppy style of reporting is exactly why it is easy for public relations flacks to use the press to spin public opinion in the new Spin Doctor era of the 1990s. This is why the public rates the press so lowly.

It's closeted, verbal masturbation by frustrated thinkers, without the sloppy passion and risk of true reporting. Diversity adviser prepares UCD for enrollment growth. Local health care workers receive award. Every newspaper and television news show nowadays wants to be smooth, slick, and above all, profitable. These reporters gather at coffee shops to wonder which establishment newspaper will give them medical insurance and a nice paycheck for empty, glossy articles.
