The Death of Journalism

The death of mainstream journalism in the United States, given its sad performance during the recent election, has been a hot topic lately. One voice of reason on the subject has been Victor Davis Hanson, but I'll leave it to you to link to his articles. On the other hand, I could not let the day pass without bringing this risible example (Time Marches On, 11-11-2008) to your attention, courtesy of William Katz. It comes to us from no less than TIME Magazine. I grew up with TIME in the 1950s. It is near impossible for me to believe that this can pass for writing at the national level. Enjoy, and do share with your writer friends.
