Why am I not surprised?!
Readership in the main stream media is falling precipitously. And the media --- mostly run by the green eyeshade folks --- don't understand why. It's the hype, stupid. I was in Italy during the Three Mile Island accident. Hearing the newscasts and reading the papers, I thought that there was a huge hole from State College to Trenton, N.J. Pennsylvania, as we knew it, no longer existed. And it's only gotten worse. As example - "Reports of anarchy at Superdome overstated" and "Katrina Takes a Toll on Truth, News Accuracy." And, of course, how many blogger jumped at the original story and expressed their outrage?! So much for journalism being a profession!

The perception of the "liberal media" doesn't help either. My in-laws don't believe anything that the "liberal media" puts out, and instead relies upon Fox News and other conservative newspapers to get their information. Why not listen to both Fox and the "liberal media" and make up your own mind? I think thinking for one's self has gone down the toilet, though.
Why not just NOT listen to Fox news, it is [yet another] example of government-led propaganda.
And "liberal", my ass.
