The Journalist and the Murderer
I'm dying because I believe so strongly that journalists have done themselves such a disservice. One of the truest things is that like everyone loves journalism in theory and almost everyone dislikes journalists as a whole. Like there's a tradition in journalism to betray the subject, to lie to them in the hopes of getting a story. In the short term, you get more access. If you suck up to the person, if you say this, say this, says this, and you stab them in the back later, long term, people trust you better. It actually matters more.
