I was absolutely livid watching the presidential debate last night, and not because of the performance of the debaters, who did exactly as I expected. I was severely disturbed by the lack of professionalism of the moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. I was relieved to find today, that several other journalists were equally concerned about their failure to moderate a debate.
But this came as a capper to another interesting result: The release of Julian Assange, ersatz journalist.
We -- and I mean my profession -- need to seriously consider effective certification of journalists, just like we do with doctors, lawyers, plumbers and pretty much everyone else, which can be revoked for incompetence of ethicaly failures.
