“Our house is on fire,” Pelley told an audience at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. “These have been a bad few months for journalism. We’re getting the big stories wrong over and over again.”
Watch Pelley’s full remarks above, starting at the 10:15 mark. At 14:29, he begins to chastise the reporting of news...he more or less blames it on Internet reporting (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, saying those are social media involved in gossip not journalism) and those comments spread to established newsrooms whose reporters are influenced. "It is the words that matter."
It's easy to blame it on the "other guy" and not take responsibility for your own actions.
