Do the journalists act like professionals?

The simple answer is, No.
Almost 99% of them are not.
I will dish out American journalists.
CNN journalists have become democratic candidates.
Dish out material in favour of Democrats.
Fox News is basically an extension of the Republican arm.
White House correspondents are reading prepared material probably not wanting to dispense with the Three Course Meal that they love to be a part of and partake them with academic flair.
On the whole no balanced reporting.
This is true with BBC, too, except the weather reporters growing old who mix technical words with simple English.
I love their (weather reporters) presentations.
That is the only reason I watch BBC.
News is simply Coranavirus reporting and politics and nothing more.
No wonder their ratings had hit rock bottoms.
Coming to Ceylonese Media and reporting, they seem to vomit out the propaganda of a particular party.
That is also the party boss and not the ordinary guys/girls at grass root level.
Weather reporting hopelessly out of date.
If they say sunshine, I will make sure, I carry an umbrella and if rain forecasts, if they dish out, I drop the umbrella, vise versa.
The paper is usually reedited old piece by an octagenerian who is politically more close to the grave than current events.
This is not due to lack of technology but due to fear of recrimination by the political masters and the editors who surrender the academic freedom to government advertisements.
They survive on the advertisements and not the sales of the paper.
Few journalists have joined together with little money and produced ANIDDHA but it dwindled with the Coranavirus.
Political parties put their literature on our letter box.
I use them to fire up the refuse bin collection, without reading them.
Coranavirus has shown the impotence of the of our politicians both in power and opposition.
If not for the paid up advertisements we won't know who we are voting for?
Regarding Trump, I love his antics, especially against China and impotent WHO.
As a medical man, I am independently critical of its role.
WHO should not be a breeding ground for ageing technocrats of Africa and Asia.
However, I have posted all their recommendations (not crisp in dispensation) in this site for my future reference.
Our journalists have one mode of language, either Sinhala or Tamil.
No versatility in English at all.
SWRD killed our second language, the versatile and simple English.
By the way, I hate the accent of Indians.
It looks like, the Chinese of Hong Kong are much better (thanks to British) than Indians in handling English.
