    PBS NewsHour Professionalism

    Interesting overview, Glenn; and thx for the "The Nation" story link from 2003. Wow.

    I would point out that PBS has been unfairly excluded from this discussion. PBS NewsHour had a 12-minute discussion on the Pentagon media program the DAY after the Sunday NYT piece in April.

    (Of course, the commercial networks were invited to the NewsHour segment, but they, ahem, "declined.")
