New Media: Like MSM, But Worthwhile

( . . . sometimes worthwhile, that is. Aside from revolutions in their first week and cults of personality, I remain unconvinced about Twitter and Facebook, etc.)

I wonder, once the old guard/dinosaur media lose hope of receiving government bailouts, how long some of them will keep on printing new editions.

News flash: nobody wants to see you cheerleading for the President, which is why everyone stopped watching/buying your stuff. We would much prefer actual independent content, like this piece wherein a lowly blogger does some actual investigative reporting. Spotted, of course, on somebody else's blog and never heard of on the broadcast airwaves . . . .

********

In related news, even basic government services are corrupted, when somebody like President Obama is appointing department heads.
