I agree. I have many friends who don't even understand that blogs and editorial pieces aren't actually news reports

I don't respect people who don't do their job. They haven't done their job in the last four years, which is supposed to be reporting the news, not creating it or using it as a platform to push their agenda.

Yep .... the so called "journalists" are now wannabe 'celebrities', more concerned with their PR, salary and access to the elite than any investigative reporting.

There are some exceptions and they deserve our support.

At the top, or close to the top is Sharyl Attkisson of CBS - she has an uphill battle as her boss has a brother as a close advisor to Obama. Glenn Greenwald does real journalist investigations. There are others, but they are few and far between these days.

I make it a habit to switch back and forth from Fox and the others and weigh the evidence the best I can.
