The new journalism: Taking money for your opinion

Guess the ethics policies have changed at some newspapers along with the pay.

One young, underpaid journalist had a profane rant to go along with the story. Please be warned the language is harsh and as I already said, profane. If you are offended by that kind of language, please avoid the link.

A comment from my Dad via e-mail:

Just finished reading your latest blog entry, you know, the one of the young woman reporter (?) with the garbage mouth. I tried to enter a comment on the blog, don't know if it will work. My feeling is she should look for work in another field.

Yeah, she didn't write professionally, and yes, she sounds angry--but on the other hand, don't you think her underlying point (that actions like those are why people think the media is biased) is valid?
