Yeah, MSNBC should have one for Keith Dobermann's show as well. That way hopefully people would quit quoting ol' pompus crazy-eye like he was an actual journalist ...I don't remember how he self-identifies, but his show (and shows like it) should come with a big warning message at the beginning and every time they come back from commercial break. Something along the lines of the whole "The views expressed are solely those of Glenn Beck and he does not speak for Fox News or its affiliates. This is not a news program." That would show that Fox is actually trying to be a news organization and prevent people from quoting 'ole crybaby crazy-pants like he was preaching the word o god.Interesting pair of posts there.
Re: Glenn Beck- how does he describe himself again? Does he call himself a journalist or something else? What about Limbaugh?
Don't you miss the days when the press were actually journalists? When was that again? Back when Edward R Murrow was still around?

You're forgeting Woodward and Burnstein. Journalistic integrity starting dying in the late 80's with advent of 24 hour news channels.
Local news on the regular networks isn't much better, at least in my neck of the woods. They constantly have "live on the scene" reporting, sending their people out to locations. The problem is, it's usually long after whatever happened there is over. They don't send people to the event and record it to air at 5/6 or 11pm. They report on what happened, then switch over to Sally Whatsername "live on the scene" where they basically rehash the event while standing in the place it happened hours later when there's nothing to see that warrants them being there in the first place. It's a ridiculous use of equipment and manpower.

Maybe but even CNN had a conscious at one time.
