The swipe at the media is caused by the realization that what has actually changed is not the availability of information but the media's inability to feature a fair and balanced itemization of everything that is important. The media has come to enjoy the ease of reporting back and forth punditry. So be it. But their mavens and spokespersons should not complain about the Web. We are the savior of news not its destroyers.
