Does the scandal go deeper right into American's newsrooms?

I haven't seen rock-solid proof of it yet, but by a preponderance of the evidence? The scandle indeed goes right into the newsrooms. ANd before somebody says that's nuts because there are too many newsroom, I say bunk. Only AP and Reuters feeds news for all the rest of them. Look at how uniform the headlines are, on most newspapers in the country. The media doesn't investigate, it READS.

it READS. Good point. How many newspapers carried the fabricated Jayson Blair stories? Quite a stinkin' few of them.

Sometimes it doesn't even read; it just copies.

"The media doesn't investigate, it READS."

There are only a handful of real reporters. The rest are journalism school graduates with access to the wire services.

Good post...."the media doesn't investigate, it READS".

Exactly!

Only AP and Reuters feeds news for all the rest of them.

Until this ceases to be the case, the media bias will continue.
