(But you gotta admit CNN's talking heads are hot). The babble and quackery that passes for journalism today is sad, but as long as Americans remain disengaged and disenchanted by the political process this will never change. Like it or not change is made via policy. American media is where it's at today due in part to policy changes in the '80s and 90s that have allowed a handful of massive corporations (six actually) to control the images and words that reach Americans. These policy changes have also allowed the bottomline to become mroe important than the audience and the mission of news organizations.
