There's the magic word, sometimes referred to as "however." When journalists run unencumbered by professionalism, and when pros can't get paid for their work, who becomes the source for real news? If print is continually provided free, ya gotta ask, "Why am I getting this and who wrote it?" I agree with you in finding sources that do research, BUT I have a lot more faith in news from a center that follows professional ethics than postings. The fact is, with the immediate spoon-feeding ability of the web, we might not know we've been poisoned before we've already been fed. BUT.
