Glenn, I think it is high time you create an ongoing spotlight of this kind of journalistic lovefest and lack of integrity by creating your own "Top Ten" list of reporters who most embody everything a journalist should not be. I suggest this list be compiled on a quarterly basis, with a bullet point for each "winner" on the list briefly describing their latest example of incestuous behavior or willingness to be a tool of the gov't.
To do so would not be difficult, and I would think such a list would be picked up by other blogs, progressive sites, and media critics, further illuminating these poor and subservient excuses for journalists.
Also, and I would argue just as importantly, it would also be well worth reading to see a Top Ten list of journalists who you think are doing a good job in their reporting. A contrast of these lists would make crystal clear the differences (and how vast they really are) between good reporting, and reporting which only serves to propagandize the citizenry.
I for one would spread this list around to everyone I know in an effort to wake people up to the media stars who are the worst of the worst and don't merit even a first glance or read.
