#1 "true believers of one stripe or another, no longer content to merely bore spouses and neighbors with their nutty opinions..."

Nice attempt at equivocation, Mr. Beck.

"playing a pivotal role in creating the polarized climate that dominates debate on nearly every national issue."

Which means your 'professional media' really ought to work harder at providing information, and not just regurgitating handed-in talking points.

#5 the Argus spent all their time, and David Krantz's effots at trying to keep Daschle in office. When, as a news media, you spend all your time trying to suppress news and spin what's left, you don't have time to run a blog...
