Jay Rosen says the MSM isn't really either liberal agenda pushers nor corporate tools, but that it's much more complicated than that.
He's right that journalists look to serve their own interests. How he can miss the angle of journalists being perfectly OK as being celebrities and entertainers, though, I have no idea.
He's also wrong in overlooking how much the press does serve as part of an elite, and considers itself as such. That also is not complicated.
Hmm, maybe Rosen likes a bit of vicarious boost "pushing off" the MSM as a critic, to partake in being a celebrity, entertainer elite himself.
