recent Nicholas Kristof column lamented the media's declining credibility: "[W]e in the news media are widely perceived as arrogant, out of touch and untrustworthy," he wrote. Somerby, taking Kristof to task for his forced "balance" and general cluelessness, writes: "But why are scribes perceived this way? In part, because they are out of touch, untrustworthy, arrogant! Kristof is either too out of touch to know this—or too arrogant and untrustworthy to admit." (Daily Howler)
