I'm not so sure I can agree completely with this writer's conclusion.
If the media doesn't do their job without bias and omission, how in the world can we know what to believe and worse yet, what they didn't report?
For me, a bad broker of information is no better than a bad broker of investments.

While Breitbart-style opinionated journalism can provide healthy competition, it cannot substitute for straight news. As Mr. Breitbart himself says, in an unusually modest moment, 'I'm not looking to slay the dragon . . . but I wanted to embarrass the dragon into being a more reasonable dragon.'"
