That, and the reporter is there to get information, not mess with and judge people. Asking that sort of question is really just an attack. We can leave it to commentators and ourselves for judge people.

no it isn’t. what answer to that question has any value to me as a reader?
Abnorc@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Think about the answer you would actually get. They would dismiss the question or give some sort of nonsense answer. It’s a rhetorical question, and the only thing that it serves to do is criticize the person being asked. That’s not what reporter are really there to do. If the answer would actually give some useful information to the reader, then it’s worth asking.

boofuckingwoo. Reporters are not supposed to be friends with the people they are writing about.
tb_@lemmy.world 9 months ago
True, but if those same people they’re not supposed to be friends with are the ones inviting them to those events/granting them early access…
In other words: the system is rigged.

Again - boofuckinghooo. Let the fuckers have no friends in the media. The media owners make journalists spinless advertisement sellers. I have very little respect for the profession at this point.

What a delightful and helpful attitude.

You’re missing the point that they need those relationships to gain access to sources. You literally cannot force people to talk to you

The system is rigged.
You cannot give the same criticism to a rich person vs. a poor person even if their incompetence is the same. I am not sure what’s the fix, other than the common refrain of “there should be no millionaires/billionaires”. How does society heal itself if you cannot hold people accountable?
