I don't think this is going to happen in our lifetimes. It should though. It's just that once the universities and mass media slipped down the slippery slope there's no real turning back. People self-justify all the time, and reporters are no different. Their internal theory is "well someone has to let the public know the "real truth"... and that's gotta be me." They all feel as though the deck is stacked against them and their doing something heroic by slipping in inuendo that "proves" the thing they've decided "should be obvious to everyone, but somehow isn't." And so they slash away at the integrity of the press on a daily basis. Only those who truly hate the West can applaud their grim lack of self discipline and sense of honor. But that's the way they've been educated, and they honestly believe that what they're doing is fair, just and proper. And for those among them who actually don't, but are really just partisan hacks, of which there is undoubtedly a ceretain percent, it's a real pity we must endure such people at all. But that's life. Check out the history of the New Jersey Gazette to discover when this trend got started in this country and by whom. You'll be surprised.
