After both debates on ABC Saturday night, they went to the spin room. In which the supposedly intrepid reporters from ABC News stood on a little raised stage and… repeated the spin from presidential campaigns. That’s right, “reporters” repeated spin from individual political advocates. They did this with straight faces. They never questioned how ridiculous being repeaters for politicians made them. They reported “spin” then went to their beds considering themselves journalists. Really.
I can’t imagine why people are so cynical about the media.
But doing their jobs is hard work, so you can understand why they just repeat what others have told them.
