Today, unfortunately, with the Web, anyone can be a "journalist". Doesn´t matter if anyone readers the stuff...
And the line between news and entertainment was blurred eons ago - someone else in this thread was pointing out the movie Good Night and Good Luck. Yes, the world was much simpler (technologically speaking) in the 1950s but that doesn´t mean that we should give up on journalistic integrity today. If you watch the nightly newscasts in the U.S. - and compare them to German newscasts - the fluff factor becomes readily apparent.
