I found the introductory chapter to Helen Thomas' novel, 'Watchdogs of Democracy?' to be a trite summary of all the times when journalists have acted without integrity. In her first paragraph, she asserts that journalist is a noble profession. I found this argument, though poetically compelling, to be weakened by a subsequent list of recent times where journalism has been a joke.
However, I understand the need for such things to be said and I suppose that, baring any major events to be reveled later in the book, it's valid.
