Do any of the media complainers really know anything about the media? I don't mean picking up the newspaper or reading the NYT online. I mean working in the media and knowing what's involved in putting together a paper. What goes into the process of vetting and editing stories each day? I suspect not. (FYI, I worked at a major metropolitan daily paper for over 35 years.)

And I still find it unbelievable that more people here seem to complain more about CNN than Fox. Your REAL enemy is Fox and the right-wing media. Especially Fox, which is despicable in so many ways starting with their name that boldly uses "news" in their title but which is everything but. Not only that, but the way they twist their "news". Remember, they were fined a record amount for LYING. And there's still another case yet to be settled.

And this nitpicking about "we know would have happened if a Democratic Candidates campaign staff had a PHYSICAL and VERBAL confrontation with Arlington Cemetary officials, while disgustingly turning our war dead into political footballs." .... well, no you don't. Setting up a situation for a story based on what WE think happened is not proof of anything. If this story was THAT big and if reporters on the scene found the proof, it would have been reported. Your whole conspiracy logic for the media is woefully inaccurate, to put it mildly.

To me, it appears there are seven degrees of confirmation in today's journalism stories. Some stories are written with the flimsiest degree of proof (Fox especially). Others rely on the traditional journalism standard of heavy proof using multiple sources. Which is the way it should be. Reporters' stories don't tell you everything about the process of reporting. Different media sources work differently. And reporters GENERALLY (unless they're working for a stupid place like Fox) know what they're doing.
