ST Uncharted

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Some of us don't cover everything, but we do try to stick to facts.

It's a journalist's job to both stick to the facts and cover all sides of a story. If someone wants to call themselves a reporter, that's the job.

And getting confirmation of a claim is the first thing you do. There's an old reporter adage, "If your mother said she loved you, you'd still get confirmation."

Journalists shouldn't take anyone's word on anything. We have to be naturally skeptical, we have to question. That's what makes us journalists.

If one of these so-called reporters or news sites can't be bother to do the very basic of reaching out to the other side ... well, then it's not reporting or a news site.

Precisely. Most fan news sites are just blogs.

Blogs ≠ Actual journalism.

So true. Trekmovie is a blog, that is all. And without founder Anthony Pascale at the helm, it has gone down hill.

I cannot express enough how sad it makes me that even NPR and All Things Considered are succumbing to this internet-age sloppy journalism and not even bothering to vet this guy's story beyond his own absurd claims.

Well he's certainly making the most of his fifteen minutes.

Huh... I didn't know he'd abandoned ship. That's very disappointing to hear.

It's still Anthony's site, he is just not involved in it like he use to be. Others are putting up all the articles now.
