 I hate to say it but I find the whole journalism as sacred institution above 
 common courtesy schtick to be condescending, arrogant and basically just a 
 load of crap.  No matter how in-depth we try to be, we are just people who 
 swoop into people's lives for a moment or two and then regurgitate our 
 initial impressions for all the world to see. >>

Thanks Bob, best post on the subject I've seen yet. Exactly the reason I quit 
reading the big papers, and if 250 million other people would quit reading 
them we would have a lot more beautiful trees to look at as well.
