I never did take a journalism history class - guess I'll have to do some research.

"Truthfully I think that in the long run the Media will right itself, although it will never be liberal enough for some. That doesn't mean we shouldn't critique it or criticize it (we should do more of that) but that through our struggles we can eventually turn things back mroe towards our direction."

I'm not sure the media has ever been right since Watergate. Maybe the monied powers that be decided to never let that happen again and clamped down on investigative journalism.

I don't think it will be turned in our direction any time soon. We have a whole generation of "journalists" who are nothing more than spokesmodels. They have no mental acuity for asking the tough questions, and they have no sense of history or education to do so. All they know how to do is read the news.
