That adjective real. It is the precursor of a No True Scotsman Fallacy. The fact is that I have never trusted any journalist. How do you trust someone that has been taught a good reporter does not find a good story, a good reporter creates a good story. In creative writing & publishing we were taught that we could make even the most mundane topic news worthy. With the proper embellishments.

I cannot completely agree with this. As I believe that even in ancient times conflicts were contrived in order to justify making and distributing more weapons. It appears to be in our nature. The idea that there is something for nothing. We believe if we are powerful that we can just take what we want. Weapons make us powerful, or at least feel powerful. There have always been entrepreneurs to take advantage of that mentality. It is not a new idea. In fact it has persevered throughout human history.
