This strikes me as incredibly on target. It talks about the ascendancy of PR departments and how reporters allow them to practically write the news for them.
That by itself is foreboding enough. Now replace the word "PR departments" with "White House press releases."
Is the lack of mainstream media criticism of the Bush presidency's incredibly revisionist approach to the executive branch beginning to make sense now? The problem with the mainstream media isn't liberalism, it's laziness.
