For Article: Conventional wisdom about media bias is 180 degrees off

Feedback:
I have to thank Mr. Dionne for his column on the truth of media bias. I'd like to add another point. - the rise of the commentator over the reporter.

I'm convinced the public doesn't believe in objectivity because so many people get news from commentators, not reporters.

I've also noticed that my beginning reporting students have an incredibly hard time recognizing the difference between opinion and fact. I'm beginning to wonder if we're not seeing a subtle shift toward advocacy journalism.
