If Accuracy In Media is doing so much to counteract the medias misdeeds, then why isn the problem solved?
There are many reasons for this. One of them is that since most journalism school graduates have not been properly educated about the importance of telling the truth, there is a constant influx of new journalists who start out on the wrong foot. Also, the journalism profession has become a powerful manipulator of public opinion. This power has inspired an arrogance which leads many in the media to believe they should be insulated from criticism. Chances are if you call up your local paper and complain to a reporter or editor about an inaccurate story, the person responsible for it won’t even talk to you. AIM believes that the public has a right to get the facts, and that journalists should be exposed when they do not adhere to their professed ethical standards.
