White House's Lesson on News and Journalism

The White House isn't just attacking Fox News for fun, or to attack an opponent, or to make the base salivate.
The Obama administration is promoting good journalism and it's teaching. It's doing a great service by pointing out to people what constitutes news and what's news with a major bias. Many people are unaware these days of what real journalism is. They don't know what it's like to get facts and information that isn't backed up by a belief system.
Advertising man Donny Deutsch says Fox News is being elevated. He doesn't get it.
It doesn't matter if Fox News is getting publicity.
Legitimate news and journalism is near death, thanks to shoddy reporting. The White House is encouraging legitimate news organizations to practice good journalism, rather than following Fox's lead.
