ZN, for whatever reason you've always been protective about the media. Your privilage.
But as I said, the media (when lumped together) has respect and trust on about the same level as Congress. This is just the data, not opinion.
You may trust the media in general, I don't. I think the media is now about on the level of used car salesmen. They'll do or say anything in the name of "it's just my job". And, just like used car salesmen, every now and then you stumble upon an honest, authentic, and genuine one as the exception to the rule.
You have that completely wrong. In fact, if we really had a chance to discuss it, you would find how much and in what ways I am deeply critical of american mainstream media. People who actually know me personally would nod fervently in agreement when I say that I am that way.
But I also do not accept myths about it, even critical ones. A lot of what passes for "criticism of the media" is actually just generalizations that simply do no hold up.
For example, the simple idea that "the media" have a uniform perception of Goff.
That's simply not true. Period.
