Shakran, is it really possible for today's MSM to move beyond tabloid mode and cover the important aspects? The vast majority of stories I've seen concentrate on "quotations of horror", another submerged car, and bodycounts. Headline time and reader attention spans are wasted on dress-stain sensationalism.
How much of a battle is it for you guys to sneak real information into otherwise junk stories, or is it a battle against editors doing the reverse?
