I often wonder what is more important to political types; pundits, commentators and the professional political agenda people; the advancement of their agenda or having credibility? I saw something in the media today where a story was written that seemed to deliberately leave of a very important factor that would have significantly changed the character of the story. Reading between the lines, this writer cares less about being a trusted source of unbiased information and is using the cloak of a supposed objective source of information to push a political agenda.
Sorry, it seems I accidentally forgot to check the poll box and it seems I can't add it in the edit option or delete this one and start over. Who cares about those silly color graphs anyway? :lol:
Question:
Is it more important to political types to advance their agenda even through less than honest tactics or maintaining their credibility?
Responses:
-Pushing their agenda is most important even at the cost of their reputation.
-They are most interested in maintaining their credibility.
-The agenda is so blindingly important to them they are self-deceived into thinking everything they say in advance of their agenda is true and evidence to the contrary is therefore inaccurate.
