    I read this story, remembered how I had snorted about the line from the first one, and just felt like being mean. Watergate was an awfully long time ago though... ;-)

    You're not the first one to notice that; shit-disturbing journalist Greg Palast lamented the lack of hard journalism in contemporary North American media in an interview with GNN's Anthony Lappe. The man reported shit for the BBC that should have brought down the Bush regime before it even got off the ground, among other spectacular scandals, that are passed off as "conspiracy-theorist lefty crap" on this continent. Journalists have had numerous stories embarrassing for large corporate entities shot and buried before they saw the light of day, or buried under litigation soon afterward.

    As someone who has covered two mid-sized demonstrations in Canada, in a small hacked-together broadcast room and on the front line respectively, I can tell you that mainstream media try to avoid disturbing the status quo as much as possible, even if it means burying or exaggerating parts of certain stories to uphold the authorities' story.
