How Cable News Has Crushed Journalism
Nicely summed up Bernie, I concur. I don't watch very much cable news these days because of what you mentioned about is the problem with these networks.
As always you’re provoking good thought but your note re the corporate nature says it all. I don’t think Cronkite /Rather/Brokaw (Rather in particular has morphed into a sniping retired man…) weren’t immune either. Cable news can’t be isolated as the killer of real hard journalism.
