Olberman is like a modern-day Edward R Murrow, so I don't really have anything negative to say about him.

That linked blog was borderline incoherent. Does no one know how to write a decent, cogent argument now-a-days?

26? Well, perhaps I haven't watched Olberman's Countdown show enough times to have a solid opinion of the man. (I like the Daily Show hour and newspapers.) But I am a student of reading/writing arguments, the fallacies of logic, and reason itself. So I know when something written is incoherent versus founded and substantiated.

The most objective journalism, the journals with the highest standards, is New York Times, LA Times, BBC News and PBS documentaries.

okay

NY Times, LA Times- still the highest journalistic standards in the states, if there is some oversight, there's bound to be pages and pages of investigation

BBC News- not sure what makes this source so great, far away from American advertisers perhaps?

PBS shows and documentaries like Frontline and Newshour- no advertisers to lean on them like all other news channels

The standards of journalism will never change: just the facts- the 5 W's and how- with as little bias as humanly possible. And the sources which hold themselves closest to these ideals are NYT, LAT, BBCN and PBS.

huh?

Not a pedophile.

It's not about 'news,' it's about the governing concepts of good journalism. Some sources will hold themselves to high standards of journalism; others won't measure up.

The internet began a massive culture lag which is when a society's technology advances more quickly than the society itself, creating a countervailing social movement backwards. It bred a mini-Age of Faith in which all news sources were intensely mistrusted and the basic governing concepts of good journalism were largely unknown or not seen as important by either news media sources or by most viewers.

But the culture as a whole will eventually return to reason, will eventually self-correct, and understand which tenants make for good journalism.
