Who's going to gather the news? A 'pundint' blasts the blogosphere

I've received so many comments from people who failed to read the Moron Perspective Warning that I am now starting this entry with it. Please read it and follow the simple instructions.
Moron Perspective Warning:
If you want to comment on this piece, please do the following:
1. Read it in its entirety.
2. Respond to the question of just who will do reporting in the Internet era. I don't want to hear your theories about media bias. After 35 years in the business, I know as much on that subject as anyone and your theories will not amuse me. So stick to the issue of who will do the reporting in the future. Otherwise you risk having your comments either deleted or employed by me as an example of the idiocy of the blogosphere through the posting of a Moron Perspective Alert on them.
Here is the original entry:

Y’all going to miss us when we’re gone. No really, you will miss us.
