[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 4553171, member: 44954"] Well said: "....a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that [B]truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few[/B] whose job is to inform everyone else. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, [B]history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.[/B]" [/QUOTE]
