text: Sorry Brett, I don't agree with you.  Your statements are from Utopia, the way it's suppose to be.  But we have a severe shortage of true reporters.  Many call themselves reporters, but really they are editorialists.  A reporter reports the facts, not put his own opinion in the article.  As I said the reporter reports the facts, not using statements from anonymous sources as facts.  Corroboration of statements used to be the norm, but not anymore. Some "reporters" are so pathetic they cite other news organizations who are using the same anonymous sources as  corroboration.  If what you say was true public opinion of the main stream media would not be falling as it is now. Even the highly respected Bob Woodward talked negatively of some press reporting.  More and more people are seeing the biases in the media, thus the opinions of the press are dropping. There are some good reporters, but they are far and inbetween.
