Ah, but what is now required is an extra step; an outside authority which regular Americans can trust to ensure objectivity. Few educated Americans pretend that either Fox News or NYT are unbiased. I'm sure those who work there are SURE they are unbiased and don't see the slant others perceive, and yet conservatives stomp on the newspapers and television and the liberals laugh at Fox. It would be nice for reporters to be able to stamp "Unbiased Approved" on their articles, whereas bloggers and pundits would not (and should not). Unfortunately what you point out (the distinction between certain articles and investigative reporting) is completely lost on those outside the NYT's realm of influence (such as me in Colorado). Wouldn't it be nice to not have to qualify which part of a paper is unbiased?

This last election has provided an opportunity for newspapers to regain their market. After all of the biased reporting from newspapers and blogs, it's time that the newspaper industry create a certification for reporters where they are held to standards of fair and unbiased reporting, with a third party leveraged to verify reporter integrity. Truly, the news media needs to make a big deal out of this. When you have things being presented as unbiased (such as FactCheck.org) which are *not*, it creates a desire for people to be able to rely on some outlet which will report accurately. THIS is what will save the papers, and relegate the bloggers and pundits on both sides of the aisle to being little more than interesting commentary. Bloggers and pundits current roles as pseudo-reporters needs to come to an end.
