Investigative Journalism is dead, man. Political Biases in the media today idealogically restrict what stories a "news organization" will cover / report on, and which stories will be conveniently ignored. It has nothing to do with that so called "truth" thingy. At one time, it used to be though.

Now, liberals tend to decry FoxNews for being this way. But, they are often conveniently willing to ignore the fact that just about every other news organization is indeed so far to the LEFT, that even when Fox News tries to be centered, it still can't help but appears very right-wing in comparison to how LEFT-wing the other stations are. They like to pretend the ONLY bias, is Fox's. That somehow there is no liberal bias in the media.

Just try and tell me that Chris Mathews / Keith Olberman / Racheal Maddows / anybody else on msnbc, is even remotely FAIR AND BALANCED about anything they do. I'd list some CNN personalities, but I don't watch enough of it to know their names to be honest, and quite frankly, who does watch CNN ? Although Lou Dobbs was the closest thing CNN had to fair and balanced and downright non-idealogical. 

 Otherwise, New York Times, Washington Post, DIGG, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, John Stewart ( you KNOW HE IS ), Stephen Colbert, even Firing Squad Tech website & Anandtech Forums to a degree. Oh, and that guy on E! Talk Soup who's on nbc's Community. All pretty left wing biased outlets. Hardly Fair & Balanced in their own regards. Quite frankly, Conservative Media has a greater menagerie of mortal enemies then Batman, and is greatly outnumbered. 

Conclusion : Investigative Journalism is dead.
