The question that has been on my mind since long before this, long before Eason Jordan also: we hear a lot about freedom of the press but, as the only profession mentioned in the Constitution, doesn't the press bear a solemn responsibility that goes along with that freedom? They are nearly the only resource we have to make judgments as citizens, judgments we have an obligation to make. We cannot make them with inaccurate information. My concern is how we make these people accountable when they are coming out of J-School thinking their obligation as jornalists is to "make the world a better place." They do not even know what their job is: to report the bare facts without fear or favor so that I can make the world a better place. I don't know how to fix that.

I don't know how to fix that. Don't buy their papers; don't visit their web pages; don't patronize them in any way that gets them revenue. Newspaper circulation is in freefall because of this very phenomenon.
