Caught in Lies

There are allot of News papers and magazines out in the world today, many people buy them by the dozen and did you ever think which articles is telling the truth and which ones are just all lies? Some journalist out there today dont really have the talent to write a hard hitting story without throughing in a couple made up things to make it more interesting. Those kind of people that cant tell the truth about someone and make up lies are insecure about themself, and lieing makes them feel allot better. Colleges and Universties shouldnt graduate all the student with journalism because some jobs dont really need it and they shouldnt have to do it.
