Journalism As Thuggery

Via Les Jones, I was pointed to a new blog called Varifrank by Frank Martin who has written an excellent post on the current state of the journalism profession. Frankly (no pun intended), I wish I had written it.

The question Frank puts on the table is:

What if the power of the press itself has become corrupt?

In convincing detail, the question is answered and I agree with Frank's logic and conclusions.

It's worthwhile to spend a few minutes looking over Varifrank. He's also posted an engaging entry which explains the chaotic political situation in Venezuela. It appears that, sooner or later, the mess in Caracas is going to grow into a significant international problem. Like it or not, everybody will be affected.
