Dan Rather teaching "Truth in the News" course
« on: January 04, 2017, 06:01:22 PM »
Raising eyebrows among some critics, former CBS anchor Dan Rather is now teaching an online course focused on ethics in journalism.

Called “Journalism & Finding the Truth in the News” and offered through Udemy, the class is aimed at both media career aspirants and the general public.

“In this course, Dan teaches invaluable foundations on great writing, the essentials of telling a good story, and how to remain calm and captivating on camera — useful skills for anyone fascinated by the power of the news or anyone who wants to contribute to serious journalism,” reads the course description.

“Dan’s rich history and extensive knowledge of journalism, paired with practical, hands-on exercises, creates a unique learning opportunity and rare insight from an American legend,” it continues.

Some things are all but self-satirizing.

That online courses place clearly has no standards beyond what its Accounting and Legal Departments require ("No puppies were harmed in the making of our videos. Please enter your credit cart or Paypal account number.").

The equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer (or the like) teaching advanced nutrition courses.

The single most entertaining facet of this election whether it is (D)Ummies the left or the media, is watching it unfold in real time. In some ways it is like the process of a kid being caught in a lie, where each lie discovered leads to another bigger lie which is more easily discovered which leads to...

Only it isn't the fibbings of a little kid that are on fire here. The entire intangible infrastructure  of the left and of the media that the left relies on is engulfed in flames. Trust, credibility, legitimacy. Ashes.

I likened it while talking to the wife, to a chinese finger trap  :waisis: :



The longer they remain ignorant about the position they're in, the better. May the ashes pile high.
