I don't know why you have to insist on despairing. Perhaps you're just reluctant to adapt to new things.

If Lee Rainie's assertion that liberals are relying on mainstream news sources is accurate,then it confirms Chris Hedges' thesis that the "Liberal Class" is dead. I don't know why the mianstream media including NPR has a reputation of being "liberal" when it is owned or served by the corporate elites.
