The gift of true objectivity is generally wasted if not combined with a great intellect with which to put it to use. How anyone who followed the sleaze trail of every oh so scintilating, unfolding detail on Clinton's zippergate, could have thought the media was elevating the level of informed discussion in American society is beyond me. On the other extreme we have journalists "balancing" the intelligent interior design "debate" by presenting the Discovery Institute - and the intellectual equivalent of bird droppings it offers us - as something other than a cog in an obstinate political machine, destined to have some significant impact on the institution of science or its perception, when it is destined to do neither. <BR/><BR/>I guess people like Keith Olberman think they have standards. The rest of us, both inside and outside journalism, have embraced the downfall of the MSM to the point where we don't mind the obvious fracturing of journalistic forums and standards that have taken off in its wake. In the end, the ability to check facts has also become more accessible, so all's good.Ritmo Re-Animatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912086218531198114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14383626.post-1125369885621259562005-08-29T21:44:00.000-05:002005-08-29T21:44:00.000-05:00http://www.coleenrowley.com/http://www.coleenrowley.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620478836945715498noreply@blogger.com
