"Citizen reporters are usually not trained to report accurately, and there is no way to tell if an article is accurate, biased, or fraudulent unless there is a news organization backing the article to certify/check for accuracy."

And you REALLY think professional reporters are trained to report accurately?

Not so!

Look at what the major journalism schools are teaching:  ADVOCACY reporting and journalism.  Even the cable Weather Channel refuses to hire "weather" reporters that do not subscribe to the political beliefs of the president of WC!

Look at where and when the Scripps-Howard "news"papers put conservative commentators and articles!  Since 1983, I have lived in Scripps-Howard controlled zones.  The S-H moto is: if it ain't liberal; it ain't news!

"The NY Times or the Wall Street Journal would have little value if it contained nothing but opinion columns and commentaries. "

Not So!

Opinion columns and commentaries do a great business.  I shop at Books-a-Million and they have at least one hundred publications based  on opinion colums and commentaries.

I do not know where the person who wrote the quotes lives but it does not appear to be a reality-based location.
