Are Good Reporters a Dying, or Extinct Breed?

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I stopped watching and reading news about 1 year ago, and I must say that I feel much better for doing so. It's comforting to hear people complain about the excessive coverage about Anna Nicole Smith (and other irrelevant topics), and know that I haven't been exposed to any of it.

That said, I can't comment much about the current state of reporting. However, I definitely think that "ratings" are the primary focus of any news agency -- not good reporting.

The trend away from good reporting is nothing new, however:
"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."
--Thomas Jefferson

BTW, did you know that you created two threads about this?

Sorry about that, my computer froze and I hit the "create thread" button twice. Thanks.
