I am a news junkie, I admit it. The problem with being a news junkie in today’s media world is that so much of the news is junk.
News that’s been fact-checked and investigated still exists of course, it’s just a little harder to find. Newspapers still practice good, old-fashioned journalism but their numbers are diminishing and declining revenues means fewer reporters and less investigative journalism.
Mitt Romney's campaign says they won't be deterred by obnoxious "fact-checkers." That puts them in the same category as broadcast media.
