    No. Journalism is dead. The press has been completely taken over by a single minded political ideology. There is no coming back for them. For any practicql purpose, our society is completely controlled by a collectivist cabal. Education, the press, entertainment media... every traditional source of information available to the people is locked up by a very small number of like minded people.

    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

    What about the vast spaces of the internet, even now your post is being indexed by Google for others to search and read. As you know you can visit a variety of sites with varying opinions. The legacy media is dying. A new media is coming into fruition, uncontrolled, unregulated (except in Australia, well and China... ). --- "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you oughtta go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q (Q Who?) (maybe Q was talking about the new media :) )

      It does actually look like a door. If he'd stood there for ten minutes trying to figure it out then maybe I'd agree with you. As it stands, however, you're putting WAY too much effort into finding things to complain about.

        I agree completely. But that still does not represent responsible, professional journalism.

          The door Bush tried to walk through looked like a door also. But tht didn't stop evil secular humanist leftist from using it to ridicule him. Quite making exuses for Obama. The man is clearly mentally retarded.

                    Hussein's little faux pas will be ignored, of course, where W's were amplified with all available wattage that modern media can generate. Still, I intend to do my small part to correct for that...

                      Because he's trolling. He wants people like you to ask questions like that, it makes him feel important.

                              Too late to recant now. Bush was demonized for 8 years, and I'm going to do my part to ensure that Cool Hand Hussein gets precisely the same treatment.

                                Recant? I've never said nor implied that I think badly of George Bush. What you're doing is betraying how simplistic your thought process is. :doh:
