"Not only can he generate driving force to force measures, and force them through obstacles otherwise insuperable - the journalist can also decide upon the priority of those measures." - W. T. Stead

The journalist can reduce the priority of those measures, simply by not reporting on them.

The article “Government by Journalism” is a gift that keeps on giving for an understanding of today’s media complex.

Its not a coincidence that conservative activists have to go out themselves and do what 60 minutes and others used to do with groups such as Planned Parenthood.

Hooray for Citizen Journalists. That's the way it should be. The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance. We have abdicated that role to the Men Seeking Men mediums.

First, we take back journalism. Next, we'll take back our government.

Who cares what the MSM does.....they are all struggling w/ the realities of the internet.

Most people get the latest news online....... way before the MSM is even awake.

Newspapers are relics of the past......they are barely holding their own.

Best evidence: the MSM doesn't make money from the news anymore....the NYT has been selling off property for years, trying to pump up the bottom line.
