Is that the name for stuff written by Richard Gere?
Like the cretans in congress, these intelligent idiots in the media are writting thier own ticket to oblivion. Thank God for transparency.
jourbalism? You mean “gerbal-ism” the style of Anderson Cooper.
So news only belongs to the reporters. Cause they make (produce) it. Gee. What about the newsmaker(s)?
Isn't that what they do in their off hours?
And they wonder why people will not put their toxic newspapers in the Birds Cage.
Gee. I hadn’t even thought of that. What will happen to all those handsomely compensated eco-reporters of their warm mongering fails? What newspaper will want to pay scarce dollars to them for a one-inch column saying that it’s gonna rain tomorrow and the wind will be 5-10 MPH from the southwest?
Mr Gerson seems unaware of the concept of a value-added enterprise. Of course, the Washington Post is not an enterprise one associates with value, period. (To be fair, though, they’re extremely good with “unaware.”)

Check this guy out if you haven’t. His name is Alex Jones, I’m watching his youtube vids.

Internet aggregators (who link to news they don't produce) and bloggers would have little to collect or comment upon without the costly enterprise of newsgathering and investigative reporting.
No kidding. Tell Breitbart. It's possible now, in a realistic amount of time to take what we need and discard the BS. That can only be a good thing. They will have to ram their cap & trade nonsense through not only being aware themselves that the premise it's based upon is bullshit, but with the awareness that we certainly know it too. Will they stop lying about it then?

As good as this story is, the bigger story being missed by the press is how MSM is abdicating its role and becoming complicit in the kinds of sins it used to relish exposing.
The thesis that the bloggers leach off the work of “journalists” is bogus. The research, the legwork is done by alternative media, talk radio, bloggers and the citizens on the internet. The press stonewalls and waits for press releases to copy but ultimately leaches from these alternative media research and stories.
Moreover, with downsizing of personnel and branch offices (Washington Post just announced several office closings) the reliance of traditional media on alternative media is necessarily going to become more pronounced.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
The liberal media avoids stories that conflicts with their liberal lies.
CNN’s Website has a special “Environment” section and there is not a whisper of the biggest story of the decade.
These are what they think are news stories:
Environment
- U.N. official issues climate rallying cry
- Carbon trading conflict in Canberra
- Sea level rise could cost $28 trillion
- Saving orangutans in Sumatra
- California OKs energy mark for TVs
- Rudd: Climate change is real
- Leaders blow cold on climate deal
The collusion of two pillars of failure, each with ZERO credibility at this point: Big Media looking out for Big Academia.
It’s Chapter 325 of a never-ending saga.
That statement is laughable on so many levels it isn't funny. The use of the word 'investigative' is a real side-splitter. 'Intellectual' applied to MSM stories is another hoot. If their "reporting" weren't so chuck full of BS there truly wouldn't be so much to comment on.
Those dang jourbalists. Just can’t trust em to get their story straight.
There is some merit to this position. Some type of licensing agreements should probably be arranged. That said what is normally done with MSM articles? They're dissected and the truth and MSM mendacity is exposed. Frankly, they have become little more than subject matter for discussion rather than the purveyors of unknown information.
