The tone is so passive, they are nothing but onlookers, when they are not fed information by those in authority they are lost. Didn't Hunter Thompson skewer this in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail? Is this attitude still around?

"On the other end were editors who had seen a Drudge Report link to a New York Post item online. The Post was not with the traveling press — and apparently had a decent Internet connection."
"At the back of the plane, some in the media were playing a raucous game of roll-the-dice. In the middle, a clutch of reporters dissected the day’s events."
Nothing better to do, I'm sure. Drudge still rules their world. I fear they are too stupid to handle anything heavier.
