As I mentioned before, I lament the gradual loss of newspapers and news magazines. The Old Gargoyle's generation produced serious, outstanding journalists, investigative reporters, and general writers for newspapers, journals, radio, and television. The younger generation has given us blogs, bloggers, blogging, googles, googlers, googling, twits, twitters, tweeters, and twitting. Those don't represent serious reporting---those are sound effects.

As much as it pains me, I must agree with your assessment. And I think that the real death blow was dealt to journalism *before* the internet in all its manifestations became the force it is today. Cable news, with its freedom to proselytize gave license to network news programs and newspapers to do likewise. That, my old friend, sounded the death knell for true, unbiased journalism.
With love and zeitgeist-induced desperation,
Jennifer
