You haven't given any proof of anything - only a link to a statement of someone's opinion, which I clearly showed is just an opinion of a person who is not even regarded as an industry leader. That opinion is the only support that you have presented for your own opinion.

Here is what is quite funny. You just stated this morning in the "Oprah" thread, "I don't accept anyone's opinion as fact. Never have, never will.", yet, here we find that you are taking Betteridge's opinion to be the end all statement of factual proof. Care to recant your previous statement?

A simple paragraph in a textbook being used in a journalism school would be sufficient for me, but you only need your own opinion to be "fact". I obviously have a higher standard of proof than you do.

Here is a list of the top ten schools of journalism in the US. None of them have anything published that supports your statements that I have seen. Obviously, you haven't seen anything either, or you would have already presented it.

•Columbia University, Graduate School of Journalism

•New York University, Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute

•Northwestern University, Medill School of Journalism

•Stanford University, Department of Communication

•Syracuse University, Newhouse School of Public Communication

•UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism

•University of Maryland, Philip Merrill College of Journalism

•University of Missouri-Columbia, Missouri School of Journalism
