It's a shame they don't put this kind of energy into reporting things like there being no evidence of WMDs and lies about links to al Qaeda. Instead we get bullshit news like balloon boy or Michael Jackson dying (15 minutes of news would have been just fine).
I only watch a bit of Maddow on youtube, the rest of my news comes from the NYT, Washington Post, Democracy Now, Bill Moyers, and a few blogs.
The solution is to remove corporate funding (especially based on ratings) from the picture. News cannot be entertainment without compromising its integrity.
