#9 So it is no longer referred to as "Main Stream", now called "Traditional". Must be because no one reads the newspaper anymore... |

#6 "Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe traditional journalism is out of touch" The other 30 percent don't bother reading/watching the news. |

#5 Yeah, and we know the Pak Daily Times won't lie to us like WaPo, al Rooters, NYT and AP. I remember back in the 80's when the Olympics were being held in Norway and CBS sent Connie Chung to interview Tonya Harding. I thought, That's the news, huh? I'd just as soon watch Entertainment Tonight. At least then I wouldn't have to listen to Dan Rather. The American people come to the table looking for meat and potatoes and they feed us Twinkies. |

#4 ...the public often doesn't understand that the sources they are accessing online such as Google News and Yahoo News pull stories from newspapers, television, wire services and other media sources. "It's delivered in a non-traditional form, that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't traditional journalism underneath it," he explained. Except for the 'Burg, where we get news AND analysis! |

#3 Since there are gremlins attacking the system, I will hand-type my nominee for Guest "Snark of the Week", Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald, on the subject of what he calls the NYT's "kneecap job" on John McCain: "So what are we left with? Anonymous innuendos of an affair between two adults that may or may not have happened eight years ago. Or, to put it another way: Bupkis. Yet, this is deemed worthy of 3,100 words beginning on the front page of the nation's newspaper of record? Oh, how the mighty have prat-fallen." |

#2 If you allow the common man the choice of 'None of the Above' you'll find out, as will the political elite, which is why they'll never let you have that choice. |

#1 Now how many Americans believe the political elite is out of touch with the common man? |
