The Media - "Let Them Eat Cheeseburgers"
If you really think about it, this writer makes quite a point.
Whether it is willful or sloppy, our media is not doing the job for us.
They don't question what politicians tell them, and as shown here, they are easily diverted to reporting what borders on nonsense.

Edward Cline writes at BigJournalism.com:
"One really can’t satirize this kind of “journalism.” All one can do is point out its awfulness, its neglect, its illiteracy, its ignorance. It is the kind of “journalism” the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission must have in mind in the way of its “reinvention.” It was written for public consumption, as entertainment. It could have been a White House press release. The article could also have appeared in The National Enquirer, headlined: “Russian and American Presidents on First Date!” Subtitled: “They’ll keep in contact, says Medvedev. Romance blooming?”"
