Sad sate of media affairs

The local media providers in the Twin Cities area were at Hamline University on Tuesday for a symposium form, regarding political news coverage of last year's election and the 2008 Presidential election, United States. Yet, I find it interesting that none of the journalists at the forum couldn't admit or proclaim that the entire news media profession has an enormous bias at the benefit of media consolidation owners, and that news journalism itself had turned away from its orthodox roots of true objective journalism and more in favor of "infotainment" news content. To say the least, almost all of young people are using the Internet as a source of real news than either TV or Radio combined; and newspapers however are lacking in circulation because of the growth of Internet access and the vast resources of news services that the paper company itself couldn't get a hold of in the context of reliable sources.
