Of course I agree! There are incompetents, lazy tossers and back-stabbing chisellers in every walk of life. What hacks me off is when people make stupid generalisations about journos, and utterly ignorant and uninformed comment about the journalistic 'process'.

Some of the criticisms levelled are fair enough, if levelled at a very specific slice of the media - others are simply stupid prejudice.

Had Icarus Sun made his target more obvious and specific, I'd have no argument with him, but Green Flash and Wensleydale's input has been kindergarten level stupidity.

Articles are not "written to sell the paper/magazine, not to tell the facts."
