"You know Glenn, I really think that this general lack of accountability or responsibility is much broader problem for our nation in general. It could be argued that it's been a problem that's been increasing exponentially from generation to generation, but I don't really know for sure. What I do know is that this mindset is evident across the spectrum of professions and hits all aspects of American life." ...James V

Do you think this might explain Katrina, Post-war Iraq, The Justice Department, The Bush Administration, etc., etc.? I think it boils down to the simple fact that we, as Americans, have gotten extreeeemly lazy. Everything is everyone else's fault. A "reporter" can't take the time to check NexisLexis or even "The Google" to cross-reference sources for accuracy and truthfulness?? Give me a break! I do research all the time and before I EVER put pen to paper, I make sure that what I'm writing is accurate - FIRST! Yes, I make mistakes but if I do, it's not for a lack of EFFORT in trying to verify my information. Sadly, we have become the "CAN'T DO" nation (governmentally) and the "WON'T DO" nation (journalistically). We are both arrogant AND LAY-ZEEEE - a deadly combination in a democracy!
