Much More Than Cronkite Has Passed



"What's most amazing about this episode is that what [Glenn] Beck said isn't a fireable or even a suspendable offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it's now encouraged.

"The folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists. Whether it's former political consultants-turned-TV execs, or former radio DJs, or former California socialites, the folks helping to accelerate the public's perception of the media off a cliff made their livings trying to do other things."

-Chuck Todd, NBC News
