These newspaper reporters... ever since Sullivan versus New York Times... have got a license to lie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the reasons why I think people have gone from reading mainstream newspapers to the Internet is because they realize they're being lied to.
But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.
What you realize hanging out with investigative reporters is that, while they may be personally liberal, they don't let that get in the way of a good story.
Journalists, who are skeptical to begin with, simply do not like to be lied to or made fools of.
There are honest journalists like there are honest politicians - they stay bought.
I think it's time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth.
Reading newspapers in the state of Maine is like paying somebody to tell you lies.
Every newspaper on earth has called me a liar.
I am thrilled to share the news that Andrew Sullivan is bringing his trailblazing journalism to 'The Daily Beast.'
God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.
