Rise of the Machine Reporters

According to this report, our news may soon be "reported" by machines:

We might as well have "robot" reporters. Today's "journalists" provide us with little in the way of value added in their versions of the alleged "facts". Much of what they do is mere re-publication of PR handouts.

And by the way, the pending legislation which allegedly will "protect" journalists is BULLSHIT. The wording of the First Amendment does not allow Congress OR the executive branch to limit freedom of the press in such a manner. We don't need legislation to "protect" journalists; we need a government which will actually preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. We need people who will honor their oaths of office.
