Gotcha videos VS real journalism



My background in Journalism may have lent a personal annoyance to this soapbox.

"Gotcha" videos are entertaining, but you have to watch out for gotcha artists that are going for clicks instead of fairness or truth.

This video does not reflect my personal opinions of Nancy Pelosi, Lois Lerner, the NSA or NBC. I am not defending either side of either controversy.

The point I'm making is in defense of REAL journalism.

I am not defending American news networks, I am not attacking civilian journalism. This rant is just a Socratic encouragement to analyze content objectively.

When it comes to news, go for education. Not entertainment.
