    When I first came across this site I was concerned about non-journalists rating journalists on professional standards. Hhow can you judge something you know nothing about? I've noticed that people tend to support or criticize journalists based on how they feel about what the journalist reports and not necessarily on professional standards. People like journalists to support what they want to believe and not provide information that contradicts those beliefs, even if it is accurate and objective. What I love about this site is that it teaches non-journalists how to objectively evaluate news and helps them develop that habit. In other words: it makes non-journalists think like journalists.
