It can't re-earn it.

Prior generations of true journalists understood this. It was a sacred tenet of eras past to be trust-worthy in journalism.

Once trust was lost, in this occupation, it is forever gone.

That is not what Alex Jones and Inforwars stated.

PBS documentary on horrific job Times did with Genovese coverage. Rosenthal was looking to present a worldview. Facts not relevant.

Sorry - I have no idea what you think you posted. But it has no bearing on the crime or its reporting.

And the source of most of the story was the NYPD. And that is where inaccuracies will trace to...

Doesn't anyone who supports Trump think logically ? The media makes BILLIONS from ad revenue. It's their source of income. You Trumpistas think that the media wants to lose money ? You guys can't have it both ways. But then again what do I expect from people who defend drinking bleach.

CNN leads the way when it comes to One Story Journalism, choosing to grasp the hot button du jour and run with it until they can't no more. What concerns me though is that there's a deeper plot going on. One that has been tried before recently and failed. Perhaps this is another attempt at destroying the economy for the sake of political change?

If that turns out to be the case, how can we hold them accountable?
You can't. If you do not like them switch channels or stop buying the newspaper's.

In my area the local paper has had to go down to printing 3 days a week.

The local ad's are gone because of the shut down.

Pretty sure the media is out to make money on ads, less business less ads.

The media is not reporting on this deadly illness for there own financial health.

They are reporting on it to protect the public.

Please explain. Are your schools run by a School Board, or by the media? Is your company run by management and a board of directors, or by the media? Who's in charge of your town, the Mayor or the media?

The economic carnage will last for generations, and mainly affect the service sector folks, who are not swamped with alternative employment options. Simply put, industries will permanently shrink, requiring far fewer employees..permanently.

The short-term thinking right now is a giant mistake.
