I, too, would have liked him to ask different/better questions sometimes. But I don't think it's fair to reduce a man's entire life to a few interviews.

Was he part of the corporate media? Yes. Was he the devil incarnate? No.

Tell me, now that he's dead, will the much decried media suddenly become the defenders of democracy DU believes it should be? No. Will they suddenly start reporting on the Iraq war or honoring the fallen? Will they now stop covering the missing white women? The celebrity gossip? No.

Putting all of the blame for the ills of the media on one man is silly. But, as I've found out from reading a lot of threads about him over the past week, sanctimonious bitching seems to make a lot of people feel better.
