"now" becoming more like a blog? when wasn't it that way? Pack journalism has been around for a very long time, while true investigative journalism has always been rare in the semiofficial media. It's quite possible that the most famous case of investigative journalism (Woodward & Bernstein on Watergate) was more a result of infighting within the Nixon administration than due to Woodstein's efforts. -- Jim Devine / "The tooth fairy teaches children that they can sell body parts for money." -- David Richerby
