The original article (which I agree with) which links to the following story:

It's definitely a tricky one, I mean how independent can you be (or judged to be) if you got bailed out by the government? :?

"I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding."

Surely that describes 90% of all modern journalism (I rigorously researched my comment by the way, and am 100% certain that it's an accurate representation of my opinion).

I have independently checked the authenticity of the previous comment and can confirm it is true and in context.
