Time to rethink...

I was just wondering if people still get their "hard news" from newspapers and television, and did a quick google search. This definitely makes me rethink what I've read--at an alarming (well, for old-school journalists) rate folks are now getting their election (ie serious) news online...already more than in all of 2004. My only question--are they really getting the news, or just shallow conceptions of it?

It seems that people just scan through articles and make up the rest of the story to tell it to other people and make it more interesting. That, of course, is not everyone, but I have seen it happen many times.
