The Mendacity of Big Journalism

Read this and weep for us all.

Crap like this shows why modern journalism is in such trouble:

Headline:

Murdoch is not a villain

However, the writer fails to produce any proof that Murdoch doesn't make each new purchase into crappier than it was.

Ditto Al Neuharth, the American Murdoch whose greatest claim to fame in the world of journalism is creating that paragon of high quality journalism, USA Today.

And outside investors who pressured a sale of a newspaper publishing company ("forced the liquidation of Knight Ridder in 20o6") dump their shares after the sale.
