This I'm sure of: For the most part, journalists do not get proper training the Trivium. I think such training is essential to producing journalists who are sensitive to their role as, among other things, facilitators of civic discourse. The answer to your question, I think, is: No. Tim… This I’m sure of: For the most part, journalists do not get proper training the Trivium.

Do you think they realize that their "simplify then exaggerate," conflict-oriented approach "reflects and drives the noetic field" and how hypocritical they are? I chuckle every time a journalist or one of their “observers” complains that media’s ills and cures are more complicated than the simplistic, sensational, one-note ideological perceptions of their critics.

Do you think they realize that their “simplify then exaggerate,” conflict-oriented approach “reflects and drives the noetic field” and how hypocritical they are?

Do you think bloggers need a code of ethics? or is it every man for himself? I've been wrestling with those who disguise commentary or opinion and slip it into straight news stories....
