Will We Ever Have a Media Capable of Critical Analysis Again?

This morning I was listening to a discussion of Bush's speech on NPR. I could not believe that one topic of discussion was whether Bush is more like Truman or Wilson. Both of these presidents have got to be rolling in their graves at 3600 rpm's at any comparison of them to Bush.

In light of this article about Frist, maybe reporters have become a bunch of tools because they are afraid of being beaten up.
