First, there is this on Time.com. They conducted a poll of who is the most trusted newscaster in America. The result - Jon Stewart. Now I love Stewart and The Daily Show, but I would have to guess that even Stewart himself would admit that the journalism profession should be able to produce a more trusted newscaster than himself. When Walter Cronkite died, and article after article commented on how he was the most trusted person in the news, I wondered who does America trust now? Unfortunately my fears were confirmed, that there really isn't anyone.
Then there is the continuing story of how ESPN ignored a story about Pittsburgh Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger, even though every other serious sports media outlet reported on the story for days. ESPN came up with some lame excuse why they instructed their employees not to report on the story. But The Boston Globe's Chad Finn uncovered what is likely the true story. Big Ben is set to appear on an upcoming ABC show and of course ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney. Again unfortunately, I was not surprised by this. It is really just par for the course for The Worldwide Leader.
