I wasn't condemning all journalists, just the talking heads on TV and in the control booth who aren't even aware they're being made a fool of.

long term?
There always has been pressure to scoop the competition. Happens in all competitive industries. With the severe cuts in news budgeting, it isn't surprising we don't have a lot more. Still, the errors in MSM are a heck of a lot less than in the blogosphere where accuracy appears less frequently than do the errors in MSM.
Again, the tens of thousands of MSM reporting that entirely is accurate and timely is never commented upon; only the very occasional lapses are mentioned--- perhaps because they are so infrequent. Something that is common, i.e. exaggerations and inaccuracies of a certain leading "news" organization founded by an ideologue and run by another, never is news, in itself: it's expected.

Because reporting the news accurately is the entire reason they exist in the first place. I don't think congratulations are due for a person or organizaton for doing what is expected. "Hey there bus driver...you made all of your required stops within the allotted time and you didn't leave anyone stranded.....Good job!"
your whole life makes one or two poor stops, do you immediately say ALL bus drivers and bus systems are bad?
I'd kind of hope not.
