the end of journalism

Journalists and journalism died in 2008. To coin a phrase initiated by the Clintons': journalists succeeded in effectively using the politics of personal destruction against McCain/Palin. All stories published about Obama were 70% positive. For McCain it was 30%. Never in my life have I seen so much tilted information slanted against one group to push a common cause. To further illustrate, the Washington DC press was polled as to their political preference. 85% selected Obama. Someday I'll write about Keith Olbermann.
