I agree with the author's assessment that a good portion of the American news media have marched in lock-step in election coverage, and I find his point somewhat well supported. But there are few things more aggravating than the pervasive and disturbingly ignorant discussion of The Media as if it were a single, centralized force or organization. Such a view, which this author aggressively promotes, wrongfully groups all or most mainstream media under one roof; it fails to recognize the role of independent or nonprofit newspapers, magazines, Web sites, and radio, and probably excludes blogs altogether. Ultimately, it contributes same type of misinformation and unhealthy news consumption that the author spends 2,000 words warning us about.
