So are we doomed to get our news from some acned 12-year-old in his parents' basement recycling rumors from the Internet echo chamber?

Actually, Mr. Kinsley, we already get our "news" from the same source. The Chicago Tribune, The Daily Herald, and the Northwest Herald (the last two are Chicago suburban papers) all run international (and a lot of national) news from the AP. It's the same on the hard-copy version and the on-line version. It's probably true for the Chicago Sun-Times as well, but I don't follow that paper so I can't say for sure.

And everybody is entitled to his own opinion of who is writing for the AP.

Newspapers exist to deliver ads and coupons. The artistes on the payroll think it's about them. It's not.
