THE "PROFESSION" OF JOURNALISM
Brad DeLong quotes a pithy post from the Daily Howler about the rottenness of present-day American journalism. Our newspapers bear a huge share of the responsibility both for Bush having been "elected" and for his being able to get away with everything he has, and the next time I hear a journalist talking about how his/her "profession" is the "guardian of liberty" or "sentinel of democracy," I intend to laugh in his/her face.
