Journalists who have personal judgments about certain political figures; who comment and do not inform have lost their status as professionals.

Of course, like any other citizen with the right to vote, a journalist has the right to comment and enjoys the freedom of expression of opinion. But they cannot do this by speculating with the title of journalist, because from the moment they give their opinion, they are no longer in the profession.

In short, going out with a microphone in hand to inform about a news story and, instead of informing, venting your personal opinion, is a total abuse of the work, profession, ethics and mission of the journalist. The good journalists that foreign media still have are called good because they do not express personal opinions even in their private space, precisely so as not to compromise themselves and their professional credibility. They ask tough questions, but they never judge.

Then let the so-called chronicle journalists, when they come out and sue their sources... pu pu pu pu... Horror! Total anti-profession!

But when they judge public officials with the phrase "they are paid by our taxes," while the "critical" journalist doesn't pay taxes, but who knows how many months he hasn't received his salary!!!

Let alone when they demand an account for the wealth of others while under no circumstances justifying their own!!!

Unfortunately, our media is now filled with socio-political "thinkers" of the "people's court", not with professional journalists. There are very few public informants left. Even those who do inform are caught up in the mania of clicks, and their headlines and information are all fluff.

Show and news hosts (not all) have become advertising agents...

Go and get this thing, but this is a fact that is sitting cross-legged in our media.
