I think I have a much larger problem with the slow and painful demise of regular journalism in general. Paper is dead, tv news is absolute pablum and the internet, while being a wildland of freedom and too-much-information, is a very easily controlled medium that can be eradicated quickly should a rebellion type situation occur. We think we are free and unfettered, but we are very well-monitored and easy to quiet once it becomes necessary. If print dies out completely, what medium will be left for truly free reporting?
