Shitty reporting is the rule now...

[PCIntern]

Let us transform this into the equivalent for my work.

"The patient was prepared and draped in the usual manner. Local anesthetic was given as a mandibular block in the lower right quadrant. A preparation for a full crown was initiated in the upper left quadrant despite the patient's protesting. Although the patient was screaming in pain, the preparation was completed to the satisfaction of the dentist and an impression of the upper right was taken. Despite the extreme sensitivity of the tooth, it was judged that the patient did not require a temporary, was cautioned not to eat,drink, or breathe cool air for three weeks,and was dismissed."

The dentist sincerely apologized post-operatively if the patient perceived that he suffered any injury, alluding to the fact that the dental assistant made a mistake setting out the napkin clips and bib for the procedure. In addition, one of the fluorescent tubes in the hallway ceiling light was flickering.

Next case...full mouth extraction in a nineteen year-old patient who arrived for a dental prophylaxis....

P.S. Screw you Jonathan Karl and all of your ilk, including, but not limited to, Howard Kurtz.

2. Whaddya mean "now"?

You'd have to go back at least 25 years to find a time when shitty reporting wasn't the rule.

[PCIntern]

5. 40, actually...and of course,

In those days some papers were better than others...now they pretty much all stink.

7. My thoughts as well.

The handful of quality reporters have been overshadowed by shit for decades.

[LiberalLoner]

3. Brilliant comparison and spot on!

[rhett o rick]

4. While I agree that good reporters are hard to find because they are not in demand,

but Jon Karl is worse than just a bad reporter. He is using his reporting to push a right-wing agenda.

[PCIntern]

6. Yes. You are Corregiedor.

Maybe he's Joe Scum's protege/brother-in-law...

8. OMG.....PCIntern

EXCELLENT!!!

9. The US media has been shit since at least 2000 when I started

paying attention. I dropped them in 2002.

We didn't have anyone then except Phil Donohue, that I can recall, and we all know what happened to him.. at least there's L O'D, Rachel, Ed.. who I watch when the vids are posted online.

But, yeah.. you make a painful point. thank you, PCIntern

10. Kudos.

11. Where's Keith Obermann, I miss him. Does he do a pod cast or other reporting?

[Phlem]

12. mirrors some of moronic

false equivalency posts here on DU. As long as there's a "D" or an "R" in the discussion, everyone's got it figured out sans any critical thinking to the situation at large.

13. I'm not erudite. Could you please explain your post? Thanks! Nt

14. Some of the 'He walks on water' attitudes here.

A black hole seems to occur where all history and past deeds seem to disappear to and thus current reality is cleansed.

He just walks on water, that's it end of story. I used to ding the Republican base for their worship and ignorance and now it's just down right creepy to see it here.

16. I agree with your assessment but

PCIntern is not a swooner

[Phlem]

17. I wasn't calling him one.

Exactly the opposite is what I hoped for.

Thanks for agreeing with me too. I don't get that much.

[Skittles]

18. got it

oh I SOO agree with you about the swooners; they make a mockery of DU - they would embarrass Obama himself

[Fumesucker]

20. But he looks so effortlessly relaxed, happy & handsome

That's the most important thing about a politician.

Why can't you get with the program and just bask in the radiance of His being?

[Phlem]

22. Nice.

thanks for the early Monday giggles.

23. What I have diagnosed as... Partisanitis

[Phlem]

DU is not inoculated from shitty reporting either.

19. Got it. Thanks! Nt
