Stonington — What is the state of journalism in this country when the national press, historically disparaged as the “liberal media,” gets pilloried by both the right and the left for its flabby coverage of politics and the war in Iraq?

Morley Safer and Osborn Elliott, two doyens of the news business, met at the community center Sunday night for a conversation in which they questioned why reporters cling to a false ideal of objectivity that prevents them from being critical and skeptical purveyors of the news.

In a talk sponsored by the Stonington Free Library, the two colleagues and old friends discussed how to fortify coverage in an era when news outlets are so obsessed with being even-handed that their stories take the shape of point-counterpoint rather than an incisive examination of an issue.

“We've heard a lot of criticism of the election coverage — or non-coverage — by the right and the left alike,” said Elliott, the Stonington Borough resident and former editor of Newsweek.

They hate what is happening now.

We should ask them for help. What would happen if all four of them held a news conference? I bet that would get some coverage.

have you ever gone to www.mediachannel.org ?

Walter Cronkite has an article posted there about the state of the media now, I kinda gathered from the site that they are (or have been) in touch with him.

Try emailing Danny Scheter (sp?) - the guy who does there blog - the News Dissector. He ROCKS!

I saw him recently, he presented a documentary he's done called "WMD - Weapons of Mass Deception". (Which everyone should see if they get the chance).
