What the hell is up with journalism these days?

I remember when conservatives started whining openly about the "liberal" media not covering stories from a conservative viewpoint...nobody bothered pointing out then that the news is not supposed to cover stories from either side of the aisle. During either late Reagan or early Bush the Elder's administration they managed to get the Fairness Doctrine eliminated...it's been downhill since then. First, the major outlets decided to be the National Enquirer (think of all the bullshit they put Clinton through over things that should have been kept personal), and now they've decided to follow to Faux Noise model and just put shit on the air.
