They report, we decide

The public opinion of the main stream media?

NEW YORK Once again, newspaper reporters score poorly in the annual Gallup Poll, released today, on "honesty and ethical standards" in various professions, as judged by the American public. They rank even lower than bankers, auto mechanics, elected officials, and nursing-home operators.

To put this in perspective: Newspaper reporters are even less respected than their TV counterparts.

Somehow, however, they top lawyers, car salesmen, and ad directors. And they also edge business executives and congressmen.

The article doesn't name names, too bad. But to be generally considered less honest and ethical than the likes of Dan Rather, is sinking pretty low.
