With Election Day here, it's sort of the calm before the storm, and so it's time to flog or defend "The Media" to fill up some news space until some real news comes along.(Links above.)
My question in all this is, who exactly is this "Media" that everyone seems to expound on so expertly?
Is it the women on The View? Two comedians, an actress, a reporter and person with a line of clothes on QVC?
Is it Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, both of whom are comedians?
Is it Oprah? (Often forgotten that she actually did start out in TV news.)
When I use the term "media," I'm referring to professional reporters, photographers and editors -- but I'm not sure that's the current popular definition.
