2. We at DU have been noting the lack of integrity for a long time

Certainly since before I came here in 2003. I do not know why anyone should be shocked by this. It is another hurdle to overcome, but not unexpected.

We have lacked journalistic integrity since at least the 2000 election. The media should have been all over the discrepancies in Florida like a dog with a piece of meat. Not a peep was heard in what was a blatant theft of a presidential election.

The media was DOA after 9/11 when they failed to ask why Bush was allowed to testify with Cheney and NOT UNDER OATH. Also, look at Building 7 For God's Sake.

We watched a repeat of media failure in the run up to the Iraq War.

Since then millions of Americans have recognized that not one word is worthy of trust from any major network or cable channel.

WTF, media!?
