10 reasons why CBS does not deserve to exist in a world of free speech -#10 

Extract from CBS website> Eric Engberg was a correspondent for CBS News in Washington prior to his retirement two years ago. He writes:

As the election campaign unfolded, operators of some of the internet’s politics-oriented blogs, no doubt high on the perfume of many "hits" and their own developing sense of community, envisioned a future when they would diminish then replace the traditional media as the nation’s primary source of political news and commentary.
...

The public is now assaulted by news and pretend-news from many directions, thanks to the now infamous "information superhighway." One of the verdicts rendered by election night 2004 is that, given their lack of expertise, standards and, yes, humility, the chances of the bloggers replacing mainstream journalism are about as good as the parasite replacing the dog it fastens on.
