Media: Surrendering Responsibility....

Michael Winship writes for Truthout: "we in the media too often have surrendered our responsibility to tell the truth squarely and give the public what it needs to know. A free republic depends on journalism, but too often, as the great reporter A.J. Liebling once said, the press is 'the weak slat under the bed of democracy.'"

NOTE: AJ Liebling now has a great blog, "Connecting the Dots". Find it at www.ajliebling.blogspot.com
