Like Bucco, I don't have all the information but have noticed a "fast food" junk diet of media sensationalism and unsubstantiated personal accounts but little dispassionate actual "journalism," or what used to be considered journalism.
These stories are now being reported by all sides of the media. The "conservative" media was out in front on this story, and now the "liberal" media is catching up.

When does it become journalism in your opinion?
