The New "Journalism"
In Lemon's piece, he's reading the "black hole" question from a tweet.
In the above examples, is it dain-bread reporters or the severely clueless general public feeding them? i.e. "Today" now has an "Orange Room" where they take comments and questions from the Interweb.
In another CNN piece, the talking head is "telling" Schiavo and Abend what happened and basically only allowing them a "yes" answer, not letting the experts postulate.
I eagerly await the transcendence of the Internet so we may channel (pun intended) Cronkite.

There were probably lots of them... In everyone's smartphone and laptops. Once again, though, fires tend to burn through the plane and take them down in unholy glory within 20 minutes. They tend to not reprogram the FMS and fly along for another 6 hours.

If this is offered as a pathetic excuse for the media's collective stupidity and self exemption from factual reporting...throw me in ERICK's sociopath bucket.
The only difference is that I just want to "harm a large group of REPORTERS."

Word my brother, word. The media is useless and a waste of time. We need a "just the facts jack" news/media station, and we need it now.

We're in agreement - I did not do a good job trying to convey my disgust with today's "journalism". Sources are not vetted, and it's better to be first than be correct.
