		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that some who call themselves journalists these days don&#039;t even know the first thing about Journalism 101. 

These are media types who themselves, don&#039;t even understand the issues, so how can they even report on it?

So, instead of trying to find ways to understand this massive problem that we face as a nation, they engage in stupidity.

Many of us out of the Beltway could not care not one bit about this breathless hyperventilating we see everyday, even as the President-Elect tries to do his job.

Where are the true journalists? Would they stand up and try to reclaim their profession?

I wonder which one will stand and tell their pseudo peers that enough is enough. Give some Republicans like Gingrich and McCain credit for standing up to their party, telling them to cut off the crap.

Who amongs the journalists will do the same, not just because of this latest coverage, but just for the sake of doing it right.

As gatekeepers, who will tell this bloviating media that we don&#039;t care about what they say and write anymore?

As for Dana Milbank, as far as I am concerned, he is an irrelevant pompus ivy league educated guy whose ego is too large that it blinds him. He&#039;s trying hard to wrestle the funny from Maureen Dowd. But he has failed miserably.

Talk about hiding behind Fitzgerald, Milbank hid behind the skirts of his ombdusman when he lied in one of his column about a conversation between Britain&#039;s Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Barack Obama, during Obama&#039;s overseas trip.

My guess is that Milbank, who is part of this herd of cattle, was only writing what he had heard someone else erroneously state.

We are in dire need to &quot;real journalists.&quot; 

This is a most serious plea.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Superb!  Glad it&#039;s on the HuffPo. We need a small organization of committed journalists (there must be lots of them available!) to begin, collectively, the work that is not being done.  Would an &#039;un-flashy&#039; collective work?  I guess Josh Marshall  is the best existing example.  

The apparent need to react to immediate &#039;news&#039; outweighs anything substantive.  Maybe Bill Moyers would be willing to lend his name--
there&#039;s got to be a way.....]]></description>
