I know, it's a little self righteous but he's spot on. At least free thinking adults aren't putting up with such inept reporting/journalism and their viewership is starting to drop off. Not sure if we can say the same thing about Fox News but I guess everybody already knows that's a bit of a lost cause.
That job description should be the disclaimer before every MSM Newscast...
