PRESTOPUNDIT -- "An intense brain-buzz, guaranteed" (2blowhards)

"CLUELESS, uncomprehending .. disgraceful" -- Charles Krauthammer on the Ra^thergate Report. Krauthammer on media bias: "All that is missing is a signed confession."

UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds:

in retrospect, the things that we've learned about the media in the past couple of years have caused me to reassess any number of previous Big Stories, and wonder just how much truth they contained ..

Big Media can no longer stand on their credentials; it's track record that matters, and the track record doesn't look that great.

Reynolds points to a piece by journalism professor Philip Meyer who says journalism standards were never that high. In my experience that conclusion applies more to big media than it does to hometown newspapers and broadcasters. Big News has cranked out agenda driven politics mixed with sensationalism for years (everything is a crisis, everything is a scandal). This is not true of most local papers.
