Maybe we do, but if I had to pay for journalism my money would be headed to British journalists, not American partisan political operators. The domestic media still appear clueless as to the extent to which their credibility died in the last Presidential election.

So why shouldn't I support, say, the NY Times? Because its staff hates me and holds me in contempt, that's why, and they don't even try to hide the fact. Why on earth would I pay someone for that?

Well said. That attitude is reflective of the growing intolerance gap between the coastal elites and people who live in the rest of what used to be a unified country. The stereotyping of Sarah Palin as an ignorant "hick" is a perfect example. She doesn't have a "cultured" East Coast accent, an Ivy League degree and says "You betcha!" While she's been a mayor and governor and has far more experience than our current "President," Alaska seems a backward and unimportant state to that crowd.
