The American Press

These guys. They're so gullible.  They're such a fantastic mirror to American society. They allow themselves to be led by the nose by any story, no matter how vital, as long as it has sizzle.

They seem to forget much of what shows up in their timeline is determined by factors out of their control.

 

Of course, entities like the WaPost and NYT land in the crosshairs with regularity, however their print and online formats allow for a wider (and more in-depth) account of local, national, and world news.

For clarification, I think media outlets need to be better, too. We just all need to be better.
