I wonder what the educational background is of the group? Gotta love the NPR/PBS listener. What a joke!

Yeah. But I thought the NY Times reader took the cake!

The problem Big Journalism presents to us is less its errors than its omissions. Errors you can complain about, and make a point. But - and this is the key point - the rules of journalism, such as "If it bleeds, it leads," actually filter out conservatism.

And those rules of journalism make perfect sense, and are perfectly justifiable from the POV of the interests of the newspaper or the broadcast journalist. From the POV of the public interest which they claim to represent, OTOH, not so much.
