Journalists

Michael Barone believes they have lost their way:
"Journalists in the 1940s, '50s and early '60s tended to believe they had a duty to buttress Americans' faith in their leaders and their government. Journalists since Vietnam and Watergate have tended to believe that they have a duty to undermine such faith, especially when the wrong party is in office."
I agree.

Where are the truly, non-partisan, independent truth seekers? I know they exist, but they don't get the attention they deserve - because it doesn't sell. It also doesn't help with the agenda - either way!
