[A Citizen Reporter]

"Then the sharks, radio jocks, politicians and blogs move on to the next story, leaving increased distrust and political hatreds in their wake."

Amen. I'm really sick of that effect. And I'm talking about you Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh!

If it weren't for the "sharks, radio jocks, politicians and blogs," the Dubai ports deal would be a fait accompli, Harriet Miers would be an associate justice on the Supreme Court, amnesty for millions of illegals would already be the law of the land, the Duke lacrosse players would have been convicted and sentenced to a prison with a black majority, and so forth.

But perhaps you are nostalgic for the days of yesteryear, when the three old line networks, CNN, PBS, the big city liberal newspapers, and the liberal news magazines formed a virtual monopoly over the news and dominance over public opinion. Conservative opinion was relegated to low circulation magazines like Human Events and newsletters printed on mimeograph machines. In that event, you might find Democratic Underground a more suitable venue for your nostalgia.
