Media Accountability

Here's another article, focusing more on accountability as a whole, not just minority group coverage. This is one of those pieces that looks at what the media isn't saying as opposed to what it is saying. Molly Ivins is accusing media outlets of being more lazy than biased. It's a classic argument, but Ivins looks at it from different angles, with actual specifics of what needs to be changed.

Do you think Ivins left out some crucial topics at the end of her piece? Do you agree that it's more laziness and lack of aggressiveness mixed with bad judgement, or is it truly bias and agenda setting?
