Thomas ch 2

In chaper two of the Thomas novel, Thomas talks a lot about the different scandals that have taken place in the journalism world. She talks about Jason Blair and other reporters who were not loyal to the journalistic standard of telling the truth. It seems like almost every journalist that has been famous has done something unethical in their careers. I think she even mentioned Geraldo Riveria or however you say his name. That's crazy. I never would've thought of him doing anything wrong.

I don't even see why anyone would want to be a journalist if all their going to do is be untruthful. If telling the truth is supposed to be a journalist's main characteristic that they are supposed to have pride in, then why do so many of these journalists lie? I know that I would never make up stories or people in the stories or the facts in my stories. That's just insane.
