Worth another look

I wanted to draw special attention to the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism's annual report, which I'm still going through. I was struck by this, from the overview:

The public retained a deep skepticism about what they see, hear and read in the media. No major news outlet – broadcast or cable, print or online – stood out as particularly credible. There was no indication that Americans altered their fundamental judgment that the news media are politically biased, that stories are often inaccurate and that journalists do not care about the people they report on.

And, perhaps paradoxically, a public that said it relies to a large and growing extent on the Internet for news gave it particularly low marks for credibility.

I would ordinarily assault you with more questions at this point, but I think this speaks for itself.
