digital technology has worsened the picture by making it very easy to 
further blur the distinctions between the reporting, and
government-spin, 
entertainment-advertising media

HOW?

Chris,

And . We're going through a crisis of public trust. I 
don't know how much headroom the individual journalist has these days.
Charlie 
Rose is pushing movies and anchoring some investigative stories on 60
Minutes. 
Only Bill Moyers is his own man on TV. We do have small circulation
independent 
publications that serve academic elites, but they are below mass public
notice. The Net counters some of the schlock on the mass media. But you
must know 
where to find it. I get a lot of different perspectives from
international online 
papers. 

Methinks kids should be taught to go far afield to find their news. 
Corporations run the show in the US. There's always the eccentrics on
BBC.
