Summary

This quote highlights the decline in journalistic standards, stating that reporters no longer prioritize verifying information before publishing it. Consequently, even outrageous allegations are printed without much scrutiny. However, when the true facts eventually emerge, they are often marginalized or completely overlooked, receiving minimal coverage, either buried deep within the newspaper or disregarded by the media. This critique suggests that the pursuit of accurate reporting has taken a back seat to the desire for sensationalism and fast news cycles.

I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes. A very, very clever man, but I want to see the world as Castle sees it - kind of a rose-colored glasses, all the women find him irresistible, all the guys find him super cool and do whatever he says.
