I love when people say what should be said no matter how out numbered they are.

Sharyl Atkisson was quite cynical and correct, but actually she understated what it would be like now.

Clicking the link reminded me again why I don't watch TV news. Below the video was a promo for the "powerhouse roundtable." With the exception of Atkisson, the members were obviously intellectual lightweights and empty suits. I can name at least twenty members of the Gulch who have more to say, and would say it much better. These people are puppet purveyors of party propaganda, and they are so, so...ordinary. And they make tons of money.

There are still a limited number of reporters that have the guts to do their job. The true purpose of the media was to be a watchdog over the government. Now it is all about entertainment.

I remember Nixon's funeral more than the liberal media witchhunt of Watergate.
Nixon's funeral was the first time that I noticed how obviously all the networks were telling the identical story of a "news" event with not an iota of original creative reporting or analysis. Straying from the approved tale ceased.
(Admittedly I had lost faith in network news almost exactly a year earlier.)

Investigative journalism in the mainstream is dead.
Not cynicism, fact.
That panel was packed with empty headed looters and Sharyl was the token this time, there only to "prove" their balanced reporting,

Yeah, but can you imagine Nixon and John Stewart or The View. Now there's a picture.
