I think the answer is for journalists of whatever stripe to cut the crap and stick to the news. Disinterested reporting aka professionalism is what we need

Won't happen when the editors are still denying that any crap comes from their own side of the room. And I do think any speech decrying "pseudo-journalism" should mention the major scandals of the day, not ignore them because they happened at liberal papers. The troubles at the NYTime certainly extended beyond one or two rogues; that's why Raines lost his job.

The ACLU and left leaning publishers have ensured that is not going to happen.

We are proud of our free press but forget that reporters can be bought.
