The "Media" failed America many years ago.

An informed electorate is vital to the Republic. The "Media" has not only failed to inform the electorate; it has mislead the American people dangerously. This is why the American people hold the "Media" and its so-called "journalists" in such contempt.

No, Dan, the news media is not failing America. As a consumer of daily news, I can assure you that journalists, like yourself, are providing valuable comic relief for millions of Americans, like myself. Other than that - you suck.
