You say you saw some journalism on TV? Where?

"White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Fox is "opinion journalism masquerading as news." What a joke - the news entertainment business hasn't been something to take serious for a long time, if ever. They report to entertain, to get ratings, to make money. And that's fine, since that's exactly what we want as evidenced by the ratings. Singling out Fox, that's just comic; when I was growing up there was no alternative to the liberal slant of national media, now there is and the old winners don't like the competition.
