Re: Media Bias

It's all fine and dandy to say "people need to think for themselves" but the reality is that good journalism is a key component of a successful and enduring democracy. Once our society loses its only tool for keeping our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats in check then we've lost democracy. I think it's pretty ironic that in some ways, during this age of information overload, many people operate within our democracy with even less information than ever before. i suspect you'll find very few people who wouldn't agree that the state of journalism in our country is at an all time low.
