Talking out of Journalism School

Rodger Jacobs writes that "a fellow journalist just surmised that the media is shying away from the Flash News piece about my experience looking for a false news source "because it makes them look bad." Translation: Concocted news sources are nothing new and nothing we talk about, anyway. It's like a sick riddle: What's worse than a journalist making up sources? 1,000 other journalists turning their back and refusing to ridicule when he does so."
