Did media miss real Colbert story?

From the media critique thread Yes, the real story is how the supposed watchdogs in Washington have been bought and paid for by their corporate bosses. Read Bucky Fuller on the passing of the nation/state. Most of the large news orgs today are just extensions of the their corporate parents. How can a news org that is owned by GE ever criticize nuclear power plants, for example. This includes Doug Elfman's on the mark observations and a transcript of what Colbert said about Bush. Individual reporters need to shake off their need to near power and get back to being like I.F. Stone--do the research and then ask the questions. Did media miss real Colbert story?: "This is trouble for the media. It has been losing customers to bloggers and Web sites for years. This won't help. The media's implosion of silence could be one of the final reasons many liberals use to not turn on TV news. It's not like they feel a vested interest in the industry anyway, since it has been bought and parceled by conservatives."
