Objective journalism of American politics, or a serious lack thereof.

I especially love BoingBoing for the diversity of topics covered in its blog, but this particular entry hits a particular sore spot for me: the lack of objective journalism in American politics, or as I like to term it, "journalistic media as a mouthpiece for political loudmouths."

If you've watched the news on television or have read the newspaper, you've been exposed to it. But like cancer, it grows on you until it may be too late to recover from its disease; some people in fact, never recognize the dearth of objectiveness in journalism, accepting as truth, what is spoken or printed.

The internet is the medium to solve this problem; the democratization of the expression of thought means that smart people will analyze and reorganize the crap that comes out from mainstream media.
