I have an issue with this NPR piece.
There's no enforcement mechanism for the Supreme Court ethics standards.
The article does mention this, but not in the headline. Given how few readers get past a headline, that's significant in how it shapes the electorate.
NPR is one of those institutions that I appreciate the need to contribute to, but they keep coming up short with shit like this. Would they be better if I donated, or would they just do more subpar journalism?
The person who wrote the article most likely didn't write that bad headline.
@Agatha excellent point. I should have been more precise. I had assumed that journalism encompassed the editorial process.
I've known a few journalists. They'd consider editors as more of an unavoidable evil. π The editors who were once journalists themselves seem to be a bit better. But, I'm not in the business myself, so I can only speak to what I've been told.
@stuartblair
You mentioned "subpar journalism" - so that's why I pointed out it was the editor. π
