> Big Media and the apparent massive degradation in truthfulness of the 2010

The "degradation of truthfulness" has been going on since the times of William Randolph Hearst.

Each time...

- ...a news anchor has an opinion about what is being reported...

- ...a political analyst or book author is interviewed in a news show...

- ...a news outlet follows a partisan editorial line, tells you who to vote for...

... that's when journalistic integrity is lost.

True journalism is descriptive, not prescriptive. It's about describing events, not forming an opinion about them. That's your job.

In this regard, most mainstream American journalism sucks. CNN and Fox News. Both indulge in the same behavior.

No news outlet is a replacement for your own critical thinking.
