Media starting to accept reality

Well been a while since I wrote. The Green and Doyle thing is heating up. Good to see the Governor’s corruption exposed.

What prompts me to write is the following article from Reuters:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Media outlets are finding it harder to protect the privacy of the politicians and stars they cover without losing scoops to blogs and other competitors, the editor of online magazine Slate said on Thursday.

"I very much agree that we need to have standards, but I think that in practical terms, we don't control what people find out anymore," Slate Editor-in-Chief Jacob Weisberg said at a Reuters Newsmaker event.

First who, what and why are they protecting instead of reporting?

Second, are they finally admitting they try to control what people find out?
