"...that leads one to believe that her time as an effective journalist has passed and that certainly her ability to at least offer the illusion of being an objective reporter has vanished."

I honestly believe that the Justice Department should be actively working to break up the big media companies under anti-trust.

Monopoly in the marketplace of ideas is a thousand times more dangerous than monopoly in commerce.

.............she effectively relinquishes her rights to call herself a reporter..........one principle that a genuine journalist must hold most dear is the need and the mandate to report the truth without editorial. There are outlets for commentary, conjecture and editorial.........

her transition from actual journalist to the dilapidated, egotistical windbag that we see before us today.

I can't stop chuckling at this!

Yet, increasingly we are seeing the likes of the Thomas’s, the Rather’s, and the Brokaw’s moving away from simply reporting the news and falling into a pattern of having to inject their opinions into the stories themselves.

From which planet did this guy just arrive?

“This is the worst president ever,” she said. “He is the worst president in all of American history.”

With these words of editorialization she effectively relinquishes her rights to call herself a reporter, as do most of the so-called reporters of the modern mainstream media.

Listen, Bud, I have a right to call myself a reporter! It's called "freedom of speech", and it's part of the First Amendment. And if I can do it, so can she. And she can print it in The New York Times if the owner of that paper says she can. That First Amendment thinggy, again.

Which only boils down to the fact that "reporter" is not an exclusive club, except to the extent that you and I sucker for the con that it is. Anyone who accepts a distinction between "talk radio" and "broadcast journalism" is a sucker.
