The death of independent voices in the media
"[I]nstead of an intelligent discussion, we hear a constant barrage of commentary that is supposed to pass for news judgment. We listen to television show hosts call Members of Congress the 'lie choir' because they question Administration policies. Without foundation in fact, allegations of dishonesty by Senators are tossed around and, although baseless, they have the air of fact because they are repeated time and time again by pseudo-news hosts. This so-called unbiased media is nothing more than partisan opinion covered in a thin veneer of news and information."
