What Battered Newsrooms Can Learn From Stewart's CNBC Takedown
Alas, what this well written piece reveals is that often times more good reporting takes place on the Daily Show than on any major network. Some of this can be attributed to the all too cozy relationship between advertisers and the networks. That certainly shows through loud and clear on Stewart's crushing CNBC "retrospective".
The question that emerges is how do we change this in the future? Its easy to look back and show how CNBC became a part of the problem but how do we stop it before it reaches the point of no return?
Unfortunately, I see no sign that NBC or any other major network is doing any soul searching on this matter. Without that we are doomed to a repeat performance.
