Anyway I wanted to say that it's nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks. :) Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere.

You trusted the things they said because they were the reporters and they were paid to check their sources, get to the bottom of the story and then craft their report about what they found out. They were allowed to take opinions, call one plan better than another because they had reason too. Of course this also meant there was an opposing view. The news is not just the information of the day, it is how the information impacts my life. We did news right when every town had two newspapers (often one liberal and one conservative). The cable news wars, despite the problems of a 24-hour news cycle are trying to do it. But the real work is still being done in the blogs, where reporters are still digging, evaluating, then reporting. Yes some are hacks that spout off only opinion with no research, but many others are out there doing real, very important work. A long time ago reporters did have a voice in their writings.
