Many of them have been too in love with the sounds of their own pontificating to acknowledge that they could possibly be wrong. Look at the MSM coverage of the lead up to Iraq and so many other social and economic issues. I like a lot of your recommendations and have come to rely much more on the blog world than the MSM for some more interesting and honest reporting. I have a variety of voices and views from many places in the world and am beginning to make use of the online access. I've recently started going to CounterPunch and The Independent (of London) as well as so many US sites. Some link to others. It's been quite an education. As well as following your many interesting articles/comments on the changing role of the media as a whole. Thank you and I hope some of what you recommend comes to pass.
