Must We be Skeptical of Everything?!

By Mike

…Asks the Media.

-Yes. That is your Job.

But that would take forever! We would have to devote people to do nothing else! We can’t possibly check out every story and bit of news for its validity!

-It is your Job.

But some things we just know to be true… why should we waste our time and resources on verifying stories that we simply know to be accurate? That would be stupid!

-It is your Job.

If we took the time to do what you’re saying we are supposedly supposed to do we would never have a story out in a timely fashion… it would just take too long.

-It is your Job.

What’s the harm in running a story that makes you feel good, or not running one that doesn’t?

-If it’s not true, then it is a lie. Not running it is the same. Regardless of how it might make us feel. Truth… It is your Job.

You just need to trust us to know what’s fit for your consumption. We are Professionals.

-Are you?

YES! WE ARE! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST WE’RE NOT!

-I’m suggesting exactly that. Are you doing your Job?

SCREW YOU! WE’RE NOT CHANGING, WE ARE DOING GREAT… YOUR THE ONE WITH A PROBLEM!

-What Problem is that?

YOU EXPECT US TO… TO… TO… YOU’RE A RACIST! OR, YOU MUST BE SOME KIND OF RIGHT WING NUT-JOB! PROBABLY HOMOPHOBIC!

-Hmm… I don’t think so. But if you think so you could research it and provide some credible proof. It is your Job.

YOU’RE A TERRORIST!
