sports celebrity thinks? Oh, wait. He happens to be African American. Does he live in Ferguson? Does he know how the grand jury was misled?

Maybe the media cannot just interview everyone but those involved with the actually situation. Why not ask Sarah Palin, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Romney, or every other 2 bit publicity seeker.

Essentially, there is no journalism in this country. Hell, there isn't even accurate news reporting. News is just entertainment tonight. No different than survivor

If everyone of the MSM suddenly vanished tomorrow it would be no great loss.

What I do miss are people like Cronkite, Rather, Edward R. Murrow, Frank Reynolds, Huntley and Brinkley, Howard K Smith, Harry Reasoner, and others, who actually cared about informing the public, and getting the story accurate.

What a sham the so-called new media is today.
