McNeil on Sorry State of Journalism

I am a CNN.com whore today.

I get $00.001 for every link of theirs I reproduce.

Here is this one, on a topic I am interested in because I hear a lot of opinionizing overtacking issues.

Robert MacNeil of MacNeil/Lehrer in this CNN.com article puts it nicely.

Quote:
...he cites what he considers among the most troubling trends, including news coverage decorated with tabloid glitter and opinion-shaded reporting.
