You nailed that one. I think it's a sad day and ultimately harmful to our country that the press has so little credibility.
My hats off to all the folks out there who work to uncover this crap.
The market is solving the problem of media bias.
Sometimes it's easy to believe it's only a few see the emperor has no clothes. Rush sometimes talks about this. Fact is quite a lot of people know media bias when they see it - but the market was closed; effectively news has been a controlled oligopoly in America for at least half a century.
Fox News is just one example of what happens when new choices allow that oligopoly to be avoided - Rush Limbaugh was the first - and the reason they're both so remarkably successful is they're offering what the market has such a pent-up demand for.
The internet, blogs, cable and talk radio are making the "mainstream" press - into old school buggy whips.
They're on their way out. It's happening faster than anyone could have imagined.
Fox News Channel is way, way ahead of the old-school CNN. MSNBC is even further behind. Talk radio gets bigger every day.
There's reason for much optimism.
The market is working. Capitalism meets muckraking. :)
