More news less rumor!

The news industry's performance during the last tragedy has been at least disturbing if not disgusting at time. At least one person honesty and innocence was trashed without any foundation whatsoever (The brother of the shooter) and no apology was made whatsoever.There is a huge difference between news reporting and rumor mongering. The hunt for the ratings has corrupted the entire industry. I do believe that it is time we return to the practices of Walter Cronkite and Edward Morrow. There is a French Proverb that advise to twirl one's tongue in one's mouth seven times before talking, that sounds like a pretty good advice right now!
