The best and the worst always show up at the end of a run cycle. I think mainstream media has run its course and can no longer be considered true news outlets. For local news it will always be the same, but with less actual reporting and more punditry I expect the audience to shrink as more move to infoblogs.

We are democratizing our information/current events/news by taking it out of the hands of those that would do it harm for profit. Those holdovers that still watch the M$M will be left behind unless they watch the one or two out there that are still journalists.

When they got rid of Dan Rather, they were making a bold FUCK YOU statement toward those of us that watched the nightly news to learn something.

I said bye bye cable years ago and am much happier and healthier without the corporate news cycle trying to manipulate me.
