	Bookreporter.com - JOURNALISTIC FRAUD by Bob Kohn
		What JOURNALISTIC FRAUD is, however, is a thorough, point-by-point analysis of the journalistic mechanisms by which the so-called, self-styled "Newspaper of Record" (a term that, incidentally, is a marketing ploy, nothing more) permits its editorial viewpoint to distort its news coverage.
		The journalistic well is poisoned at the source and trucked all over the country.
		He sets forth in JOURNALISTIC FRAUD a scenario whereby the Times could regain its respectability and once again become the newspaper that was respected for its objectivity, as opposed to being fit for fodder for late night television monologues.

	Fraud :: Health : Gourt
		In the broad legal sense a fraud is any crime or civil wrong for gain that utilises some deception practiced on the victim as its principal method.
		In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them — usually, to obtain property or services from him or her unjustly.
		In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called "theft by deception," "larceny by trick," "larceny by fraud and deception" or something similar.

	Overt Liberal Media Bias: Journalistic Fraud
		And then I was making the point of comparison between journalists versus the public (in reply to what you posted), which first you deny, and now you admit (that the article makes comparisons between journalists and the general population) a twisting and circular pattern...
		While most of the journalists, like many Americans, describe themselves as "moderate," a far higher number are "liberal" than in the general population.
		Journalists and actors do it all the time - mostly because their real names are boring or difficult to say.

	php-deluxe.net - description Journalistic Fraud
		Journalistic Fraud: How The New York Times Distorts the News and Why It Can No Longer Be Trusted is a book by Bob Kohn with a thesis similar to that of Bernard Goldberg s Bias (book).
		Journalistic Fraud claims to detail the precise way a unified liberal bias perpetuates the media, citing copious examples from the New York Times.
		Goldberg claims, for example, that the Times omits the adjective liberal when describing liberal sources while still applying the adjective conservative when describing conservative sources as part of a hidden conspiracy to establish liberal views as mainstream.

	Overt Liberal Media Bias: Journalistic Fraud
		This is journalistic fraud at its most basic: he didn't lean left or right, he just fabricated or plagarized pretty much every story he ever wrote for the NY Times.
		This is a comparison of journalists to the general population, not a comparison within journalism itself.
		I like how the three or four "Journalists" that were actually on the Bush administration's payroll were excluded from this listing of journalistic fraud, along with Robert Novak, who revealed the name of a covert CIA agent whose husband had pissed off the Bush administration.

		Though this form of fraud is much more difficult to prove, several examples have cropped up of vignettes that just seemed "too good to be true" for them to be naturally occurring scenes.
		Reuters, according to this theory, is taking advantage of the chaos of war, and the chaos of the international media coverage, to promulgate staged or contradictory news reports, knowing that their audience is distracted by an onslaught of too much information.
		However, this theory is somewhat supported by the fact that Reuters had outsourced part of its captioning operations to Singapore and to Bangalore, India, where captions were written by "entry-level employees" who had little direct knowledge of the situation on the ground.

		The New York Times has revealed a former reporter "committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud," including stealing material from other newspapers, inventing quotes and lying about his whereabouts, according to an investigation conducted by the paper.
		Among the reported examples of fraud were stories in which Blair falsified visits to the home of former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch and a Navy hospital in Maryland where wounded Marines were patients.
		The Times said Blair was aided in his deception by using laptops and cell phones--which prevented editors from knowing where he was--and his access to databases of news articles and photographs, from which he took details of places he had never been.

		The aim of this report is to alert consumers, students, parents, educators, and members of academia, about the growing incidence of fraud, fabrications, lies, distortions,and a conscious disregard for editorial honesty and ethics by rogue news reporters of the mainstream media.
		Journalistic fraud has led to the defamation of legitimate business practices (Larry Flynt and his Hustler magazine, and other legal publications), and has led to innocent persons being accused of crimes by ignorant people who do not know the facts (i.e., Richard Jewell, and many other men).

		Perhaps one reason that people are so distrustful of the media is the interchangeability of 'believe' and 'think' in the average journalist's vocabulary.
		Perhaps the average person realizes that his or her analytical powers are not adequate and willingly confers them to the press.

		The widespread fabrication and plagiarism represent a profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper.” Not quite, the low point is soon to be reached—the cover-up of those really responsible for the debacle of Jayson Blair’s four year career on the Times.
		Jayson Blair is a liar, a cheat, an impostor, fraud, con man, and thief.
		The most astonishing thing about the story is not that Blair turned out to be a con man and plagiarist, that happens occasionally, even in the best of journalistic institutions, but the denial of the reality of this man’s sociopathy as demonstrated by the chronicity of his errant behavior.

		If the media wishes to continue to be seen as a serious medium of information (and more and more people are turning elsewhere for news) it needs to take seriously its responsibility to report accurately the news instead of pandering to the worst elements of the left.

		A staff reporter for The New York Times committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months, an investigation by Times journalists has found.
		But the tightening of procedures and the revamping of newsroom culture initiated over the past three years make such an extensive journalistic fraud much less likely to occur again at the paper.
		It's also the most common assessment I've gotten from the members of the Siegal Committee, which was created by the paper's management after the Blair fiasco to recommend changes to assure the quality and integrity of the newsroom's methods of operation.

	Bookreporter.com - JOURNALISTIC FRAUD by Bob Kohn
		The revelations of "frequent acts of journalistic fraud"—upon the discovery in May 2003 that a Times staff reporter, Jayson Blair, engaged in fabrications and plagiarism that may have polluted hundreds of the paper's news articles—brought to light what may be the underlying cause of the journalistic fraud addressed in the following pages.
		The four-page, 14,420-word article was billed as an accounting of the dozens of known journalistic deceptions perpetrated by 27-year-old Times reporter Jayson Blair, who had worked for the paper for nearly four years.
		Sneaking editorial opinions onto the front page by identifying them as "news analysis" is, to be sure, one way to couch editorial opinion as straight news, but the deception on which this book zeros in—one far more pervasive and pernicious than the antics of Jayson Blair—is the direct manipulation of the "straight" news story.
