Look at the blogger that dug up that old Obama audio on redistribution at wealth.

That clip came from an editorial board meeting with Obama and editors of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The (old) audio on redistribution of wealth came from a Chicago Public Radio station that a blogger took the trouble to listen to and publicize.

It's really a toss-up when it comes to the major failing of so-called "journalists" today: the liberal editorial bias of the media is a given, but the laziness of reporters is a major contributor to the decline. When you think of all the money spent on the travels of reporters covering Obama during that long primary/election cycle by the major media, exactly what bang did they get for the bucks? Other than generalized quotes (which usually didn't match the YouTube video of the event) and hackneyed repetition of canned background material and/or generalized genuflecting, I'd say not much. The candidate rarely spoke to the campaign plane groupies, and they meekly accepted the silence.

The author can mourn newspapers, but actual journalists -- meaning those with historical knowledge and an appreciation of facts (vs. opinion) -- died long ago. Without them, newspapers are a waste of paper, ink and time.

I'm sorry. You are correct.

I mistook the "redistribution of wealth" comment for the "bankrupt the coal industry" comment, which was from the San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board audio that a different blogger found.
