TV Journalists Play Second Fiddle to Internet
Michelle Malkin points out an interesting Pew Research Center survey on how Americans got their news then, and how they get their news now. Check out the graphics below:
Read it and weep, guys. But here's a brain teaser for you: If Katie Couric is the favorite, most-admired journalist, why is CBS at the bottom of the network ratings tank?
(And for those of you who wonder why Katie's producer got the chop, just remember that $15 million that CBS has invested in its "star." They won't give her the heave-ho until there are no more scapegoats to fry.)

Does anyone agree that most of these "news figures" are basically a bunch of opinion folks? And putting dead people on the list sure doesn't bode well for the intelligence of the respondants. And how in the world would you put Jennings (dead), O'Reilly (bad opinion),Limbaugh(opinion), Lauer (Breck Girl and notorious bed-wetter), Rather (fired idiot and traitor), Lehrer (bad opinion and refrigerator magnet), Russert(Larry King Jr.), and Jon Stewart (blithering idiot) on this list? Did I miss any? Just saying.
And if the economy was so good during the Clinton crime spree, does it strike you as odd that this polling company finally admits that the stock market was down in 1997? A point that I have continually hammered home at a lesser blog.
