There certainly could be more.<BR/>They all reflected poorly on the US and US military.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it past time that the media be held accountable for their horrible record? And... Is it really surprising that only 29% of Americans, Germans and Brits trust their media?<BR/><BR/>Newspapers [with few exceptions] are mostly just bastions of anti-American liberal thought and a means to a paycheck for leftists without hope of employment in the real world.<BR/><BR/>"Here Here!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-21991625819691965572007-12-16T17:05:00.000-05:002007-12-16T17:05:00.000-05:00What sort of Journalism credentials do Katie Couri...What sort of Journalism credentials do Katie Couric an all the other talking head TV news reporters have?

The new crowd can't hold a freakin' candle to real reporters. Most of the bloggers I've followed appear to be more in the mold of real reporters, so I trust their ethics more than I trust the ethics of The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, ad nauseum. I think the opinion you cite reflect stark terror that the writer might find himself totally redundant to the needs of our society. If that's the best shot he can take, he doesn't deserve to be called a newsman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
