We need both, just in their respective places filling their respective functions. Either one, without the other, would prove problematic.

I hope Obama does better-than-expected in PA for a variety of reasons, but one would be that it would show that people really aren't buying this substance-less "gotcha" attacks.

Sam Walton and his company do more in one hour to provide jobs and save people money than Barack Obama, John Edwards, Bill Ayers and Al Gore (to name just a few of the sainted) collectively have or probably will do in a lifetime.

These criticisms of the press's faux populism/watchdogging are similarly reflected in the faux "journalistic heroism" of Judith Miller during Scooter Libby debacle, where Miller's concern was as much about protecting the sources and access that enabled her to function as a mouthpiece for the administration and those in power.
