Proposal to rebirth American news

Poll after poll for the last 20 years has shown that Americans are losing faith in the mainstream news media. Robert Parry, editor of the Consortium News, has proposed a Superstation Democracy to win back the public trust by putting aside “today’s sneering punditry and vacuous journalism” and celebrating “what’s great about America: the democratic ideals, the environment, its diverse people, its rich history, its grassroots culture.” Consortium News, to be sure, is a proponent of the modern Left, an analysis made clear by simple examination of the current table of contents. Which doesn’t mean Parry is wrong either.
