I agree that the new media sucks but the old media wasn't any better. At least with the Internet you can usually post an opposing view, complete with facts to back it up whereas the old media you just took the reporters words without rarely a question. The responsibiliy always goes back to the reader to confirm what they read as factual through multiple information sources and some common sense but that doesn't happen enough.



funny that they used Romney as an example of how false accusations can run rampant when other candidates have experienced much mote damaging false attacks. The irony isn't lost on me that realclear politics is guilty of the same tactics they now complain about.

Exactly, the new AND old media make sure of that.

Romney may not be a racist, but he is a Mormon.  The Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS Church) has a long history of racism, especially toward black people. 

It wasn't until the US government threatened to revoke their tax exempt status in 1978 that the "church leaders ceased the racial restriction policy for black men, declaring that they had received a revelation instructing them to do so."   ::)
