Reporters tended to overstep their bounds starting in 60s from reporting the news to creating the news. Most of which tended to be liberal.

When journalism was for public service it was factual but, when it became a business built on returns money wise the quality went out the window. And with that and the rise of Fox in the early part of the decade, people flocked to blogs to get a better balance and to get away from rightwing spin and manipultions.
Instead of journalism getting better because of it, it became more and more entertainment in response with less and less credibility.
Until the press and journalism becomes more public service and more about facts rather then entertainment and created controversy and personal opinion of the noise machine, this cycle will continue to spin with the traditional media losing more and more.
We need more credible media that deals in facts and reality and less in ginned up stories and controversy for entertainment and spewing out falsehoods and inuendo.
