WPCNR MUCKRAKER'S NOTEBOOK. In the absence of any real news today, and the lack of guidelines for fledgling young reporters from the journalism schools today – that never teach the sad truth that the most respectable officials and leaders lie to  people and reporters on an hourly basis – and those who think what they see on television and read in the mainstream press is how reporting should be done,  WPCNR turns to The Muckraker’s Notebook which will bring the public some of the truisms and sayings by famous reporters of the past, not all of whom ever existed.

 Many of the sayings have been collected by Tom Henderson who is Managing Editor of the Polk County Itemizer-Observer in Dallas, Oregon, who wrote the article, Everything I Need to Know About Journalism I Learned from Superman (And Other ComicBooks).  Todays' reading from The Muckraker's Notebook comes from the crusading columnist, Spider Jerusalem of Transmetropolitan Comics.  You can see the complete article of Mr. Henderson’s on http://www.ijpc.org/comicbooks%20tom%20henderson.htm

"You people don't know what the truth is! It's there just under their "BS" but you never look! That's what I hate most about this city. Lies are news and the truth is obsolete" Spider Jerusalem.
