Journal #14

The writer claims that Journalism has turned politics into a "blood sport...and an exercise in lying". I agree with this statement because it's true in the sense that politicians compete with each other for the better image from the press, thus becoming a blood sport. They do this often by lying in order to make themselves appeal to the public. For example, Donald Trump is an example of a politician who lies in order to gain people support, and these lies are then reported by journalists. Unfortunately, these lies are believed by Trump supporters and those who don't do their own research to find the truth.
