Bingo. Don't ever expect the MSM to report honestly on themselves. It's the same as it was with the medical profession and the law enforcement. I guess we need an neutral party to expose the truth (I thought C-Span was that neutral party for a while)

The new media I guess is the MSM's internal affairs.

As individuals the bloggers and participants at places like FreeRepublic (if any other institutes of such quality ever emerge, as FR really is unique) aren't neutral, whether right or left.  However, as an institution the net based new media IS the neutral party, when taken as a whole.  It doesn't take reporting with no point of view, it take reporting from all points of view to present a true picture.  If all of the versions are out there I firmly believe that truth will out.
