One thing in addition to everything you mentioned is that there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY. How many news people got fired for the poor reporting around WMDs and Iraq? I only know of one prominent news-person that got fired: Phil Donahue, for questioning the status quo. We caught Donna Brazille giving Hillary the debate questions (via seemingly the only reputable news source around: Wikileaks). Sure, she got fired from CNN, but now she still has a cushy job at the DNC. I will NEVER vote for a DNC party member while she's still on the payroll. FWIW I voted Obama his first term.
Oh, didn't you hear, things looked bad but they couldn't prove anything, just like the 2008 banking fraud, they couldn't find evidence to prove anyone did anything wrong! (wink wink, nudge nudge)
