The Media - Media Meltdown by Cal Thomas
I don't really know whether the media is "truly arrogant" or have their collective heads in the sand.
I do know that I have little remaining respect for them and am one of those who has turned to alternative sources.

At TownHall.com, Cal Thomas writes this, and a lot more:
"Journalism is the only profession I know that ignores the wishes of its consumers. If a department store found that most of its customers preferred over-the-calf socks to ankle-length socks, would that store ignore customer preferences for the longer socks because the president of the company preferred the ankle-length style? Not if the store wanted to make a profit in the sock department. Yet journalists have this attitude: 'we know what's good for you, so shut up and take it.'"
