Washington Post would say any old Joe reporting lacks credibility, this may be true however credibility is something that is established. Individual will establish credibility as they gain a following. Individual talent now can bypass the established media.

Agreed that readers and viewers will have to weed through more junk however I question if it's really that much different than reading through bad articles auto advertisements and a host of other stuff you really didn't want from goal your newspaper television station and radio stations.

People hold onto these brands as security blankets but as new media namely the Internet …people will grow and let go of the security of old crusty media.

I believe him to view the corporate form of ownership as an evil wrought on society and I suspect he may also not even be fully comfortable with the notion of private ownership at all.

What you said is only true if you define 'conservative' as to the right of Olbernmann.

In fact, the corruption is rapidly consuming the root. Journo schools are graduating corporate journos just like investigative academics lose their tenure unless they tow the line. Even social work, an occupation dear to my heart, long ago had their more progressive and socialistic agendas replaced by those of the heath care providers (read insurance companies). It's been going on for at least a decade, at least since Reagan……eating away whole pieces of the fabric of society.

They say the Banks own the government. No? General Smedley Butler says the military exists for the primary purpose of protecting corporate entities on foreign soil. Did the US Govt. have anything to do with the Honduran coup? Well, yeaaaaaaaaaaa! All the major oil companies are in Iraq holding bidding contests on who will run Iraqi oil. Who will represent the Iraqi people about their most valuable resource? NONE! And why is Israel allowed to run concentration camps and kidnap ships in international waters carrying supplies for Gaza.

Their are investigative reporters reporting on all these issues….but for the most part…….you won't find them in your local or regional paper…….You want the NEWS, — watch Colbert & Stewart and yes the web bloggers. It is important to understand that the real news is not supported…….which means our democracy better resembles an oligarchy.

Just take a look at who is on the WaPo editorial staff. It's like a neocon all-star lineup.

Thanks for the info Doc!

I would have used “que merde” myself

I think the title is perfect btw!

Oh, and the White House is playing make believe too. The Post would have never made this offer without first getting RSVP's from the White House's “key insiders”.

Just when I thought no one could go lower than the Huff Post…in steps these idiots.
