MARK TAPSCOTT says that some media folks still don't get it, and probably never will.

It's worth reading his piece together with this one on Newsweek by Jay Rosen, though Jay posted before the latest Newsweek flap.

UPDATE: And it's especially worth reading this Mark Steyn column. Also, don't miss Ernest Miller's take.

And, while not directly related, this column by Keith Thompson is relevant, and is also a must-read.

And doesn't this item say it all? (Via Kaus). More here.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reacting to the latest Newsweek story, reader C.J. Burch emails:

The media machine is turning out debacles so quickly that it's hard to react to them all. Maybe that's their strategy. Simply overwhelm the rest of us with the sheer scope of their bias, dishonesty and incompetence.

That's so crazy it just might work!
