Where Have All The Journalists Gone?

We bloggers have lamented the absence of any challenge to Cathie Black's appointment by the mainstream media.  On the contary, they have rushed to her rescue.

At bloggingheads.tv two journalists discuss, among other things,  WikiLeaks and its creator Julian Assange.  I think the conversation shines some light on why the journalists of our major newspapers are such wimps and why we need alternative news sources.
