Heck, I own Mediaite, the site that covers media, but actually being in the trenches, trying to gather and break news what an ABC News does every day is hard and admirable. Much harder than just getting to cherry-pick potential issues from the outside."
"The political coverage is also what creates the controversy, but that is just a piece of what a mainstream news operation does and here is the most important point, despite all the sniping, the public appreciates it.
